Pros:

Nous avons aimé l'emplacement et l'apparence extérieur de l'hôtel. Nous y avons bien déjeuné et dîné. La place de parking de l'hôtel est gratuite.

Cons:

Petit bémol, un hôtel devenu "continental" à l'intérieur sans charme particulier.

OK for a short stay
Pros:

The location is ideal for the ferry port.

Cons:

The room assigned was small and the furthest from reception. Due to miscommunication we didn't book a dinner table and so we had to wait. By the time we ordered many of the items were off the menu.
