Quite dated but clean and comfortable. Great location. A little cheaper than some other options but it's because you pay for parking separately

Budget stay with great location. Rooms were passable but a bit warm (was hard to cool them down at night). Recommend getting a room on any floor but the basement (windows do not open down there) and also facing the courtyard vs the road (noisy).

great location, really great staff (we had an issue with a noisy guest staying next to us and staff resolved the issue straight away for us and went over and above to make sure we were all good). safe car park

I loved the location, I'm actually surprised how cheap it was for a hotel downtown. It's close to everything. Good restaurants near by, the ferry is 5 minutes away by car (could definitely walk). The neighborhood felt safe. Happy that the breakfast were hot with a bit of change every day. I saw the pool but didn't get to go since it was a LOT of kids their (I went in the morning), so I suggest going closer to the closing time if you want to relax. And btw is looks BETTER than the pictures.

I did say above how really amazing this hotel is, The service is awesome the rooms are great, great location but I do find it a bit pricey. I know it’s summertime so it’s always a little more expensive but it would be nice if it was a little cheaper.

There are many options according to your budget, We booked a 2 bedroom suite with private bathroom, microwave and a small fridge, enough to keep some snacks, make some sandwich and tea for breakfast. It's easy to walk from there to downtown/ the harbour (20/25 min walk), felt very safe, I could work from there too. Highly recommended.
