The Hotel was clean, centrally located and the price was reasonable. If I stay there again, I may splurge and have dinner at the on-site restaurant.

The hotel is older, but very well maintained with large rooms and comfortable beds. I have stayed here several other times and I have never been disappointed. The reception was very friendly and welcoming.

I got into town after a long day of traveling and was greeted at reception by a lovely lady named Francine. She had a great sense of humor during check-in, making the process go by quickly and was refreshing after a long day of driving and waiting on ferries.
