Convenient and Comfortable Stay

short driveearly breakfastfree parkingseafood options
The hotel is a short drive from the ferry terminal to Portsmouth it took less than five minutes. The buffet breakfast began early at 7am allowing time to reach the ferry checkin by 7.45am. I found free parking nearby after 7pm and before 9am. The evening meal at the restaurant offered tasty options with local seafood.
The room showed some wear with older decor but it was still functional.

The hotel enjoys a convenient location near the ferry terminal. The staff gave us helpful assistance during our early morning departure. The room was clean and it had a comfortable bed.
My room felt slightly airless even with the window open.
