This is a basic hotel. Very clean, quiet, stark furnishing and priced accordingly. No coffee or machine, no floor bathroom mat, no hair dryer, no cups or glasses, no phone. Office is not open daily. I was unable to get a receipt for my expenses as office was closed and didn’t answer phone when I was checking out. Left a message hoping they will send me a copy.

Room was beyond old & tired & felt dingy. Dishes in the cupboard were chipped & mismatched. Chairs were haphazard- one barstool & one kitchen chair. The smell was horrible!! We kept the windows open all night. The bed was comfortable enough but the pillows weren't great. Bathroom has been updated. Front staff was fantastic! We got in late from the ferry & they happy to help us after closing hours.

I have been staying at this place for years because it is affordable and in a great location, and has free parking. However, over the past year it has turned from tourist accommodation to more long-term low-income housing. People are living there, not just visiting, and they are up all night every night - gathering and talking really loud on the balconies, partying, yelling, stomping, fighting through the whole night (every night of my 4-night stay until between 3am and 6am). Not just one resident, but many - beside me, farther down the walkway, upstairs... The front desk is closed for the evening and through the night, so there is no one to call about it. I did not feel very safe there, and will not stay there again. I am sad, I used to love this place.

For an older motel style Inn the conditions were awesome. The beds were comfy. The rooms clean. The kitchenette had what we needed and the TV had channels. We were in town for a sporting event and it was what we needed for the weekend.
