Pros:

Second stay here and just as enjoyable as the first. Made to feel welcome (at home) and a Plan B put in place if the Ferry was cancelled. Dinner at the in-house Sasa Japanese Restaurant was amazing. Highly recommend for a comfortable, quiet, stay, and taste bud awakening. ♥️

Overall excellent facilities and restaurant, would definitely stay again
Pros:

There were very friendly staff both when I was checking in and checking out. There was also a very nice Japanese restaurant that had excellent service, very quick and very good food. The breakfast in the morning was also great.

Cons:

N/A I arrived late and left early the next morning so didn’t have very long to experience the hotel, and I was very satisfied with the entirety of my stay

Overnight stop on way to Picton Ferry
Pros:

A budget hotel used by workmen working away from home and a little out of the town centre.
Rooms are tired but clean and serve their purpose.
