the chef was excellent. food was very good. the hotel was very clean and had good room for parking. it was very close to the ferry terminal.

the new carpet prevented the door opening properly so i had to put my shoulder to it. the bathroom was very small. the extractor fan did not work so after a shower it was like a sauna.
