The front desk was unable to provide us with a correct password for internet access, when we checked in—if the connectivity issue was ever resolved, we were not informed.

This place is close to the ferry. That’s about it. They stopped serving breakfast at 9AM. Considering how late we were getting in the previous evening we got up at 9 and missed breakfast.

Dated, but clean. Noisy room, comfortable bed. Although the bathroom was clean, it is very small with the sink outside of the bathroom. Close to ferry. Delicious made to order breakfast by a super friendly and happy employee- front desk, not so friendly.

A simple hotel with above average service. Breakfasts (included) were cooked for us, hot, each morning. Real breakfast too, eggs, sausage, waffles, whatever we chose. The staff were so friendly and helpful! Rythem was so incredibly helpful!
