Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location near the ferry terminal was convenient for our early morning crossing to Jersey, but it was noisy due to the busy crossroads. The service was friendly, and the fresh dining options were a nice touch. However, the rooms had issues with leaked showers, which was a downside. Overall, a decent stay with some minor drawbacks.
