Need to add a coffee machine to the room , like any motel do . Rooms numbers need to be clearly marked outside since there is no reception to help for people who arrive late .

Rest and Restaurnt
This came highly recommended and didn't disappoint. The staff worked very hard. The rooms are spacious with direct access to outside. It has a great restaurant at the property that even the locals come to. It was a short distance to the Ferry. Ideal for comfortable & convenient stay.
