great spot for one night stay.

Grateful that we were given a larger room. Pillows were a bit too 'full'. Handy to motorway, ferry terminal and to town. Parking around hotel is on meters. Supermarket veryclose.

Beware that on some sites it appears that parking is available free of charge but there is a significant nightly charge for parking and it’s not completely secure (although there are cameras). The staff were ok but not particularly friendly and we got a room for 3 people but we had to ask for a third towel and there were only 2 drinking glasses and cups. In the photos it looks a lot more spacious too - the beds were very close to each other. A plus was that it was nice and quiet and generally comfortable. Some liquid hand soap by the basin instead of a bar of soap would be good because the bar kept sliding into the basin. Also some body lotion would be appreciated. In general it was decent but pricey for what it is.

The room was very clean, lovely comfortable bed, nice hot shower. 😊 Shower cubicle was a bit small The main reason for the lower score was the musty smell both inside the room and in the corridor 😕
