The major problem with the facility is that they appear to run the pool filter or pump throughout most of the night. The noise is quite loud and extremely annoying, so much so I doubt I will ever look to stay there again. Really polluting noise in the dead of night leading to a restless night with little sleep.

This is a Motor Inn and priced as such. About a 10 to 25 minute pretty flat walk into town. Staff are super friendly, beds were comfortable and pillows good. If you qre looking for q no fills nor fancy place this could be worth looking at.

Was told on chat that after hours check in info would be sent to me. It wasn’t, then when I arrived, I got voicemail 3 times at the after hours number. Someone did come and give us the key - thank goodness someone was there. He said they tried to call me, but I had no missed calls. Not great. Hotel was 1/2 mile to port and further to town, location is just adequate for walkers, especially with luggage to manage. Room was clean. Instant coffee with the continental breakfast was a first for us. Wouldn’t stay there again for the price. On par with a motel 6 or Super 8 in the US. Okay for a sleep.
