"We booked a 1 night stay to be in town close to the ferry terminal which we had to be at by 5.30am - a rather early start. The hotel was very handy for this and we parked in a public car park (advised by the helpful hosts) and then we walked along to the ferry very early in the morning. The hotel was perfect for this and we had a decent (if short!) sleep. The room was fine for this - basic without frills and a comfortable bed. Please do note that the window opened straight onto the main road and can be rather noisy with trucks and cars going past right outside. And some drunken revellers passing by early morning. Not the hotel's fault, it is the price you pay for being handy in the middle of the town!"
