So much potential but not quite the real deal
Pros:

The location was great

Cons:

The musty smell up the stairs, the room we stay in was too small for two people. We had to keep moving things to have access to the whole room.

Comfortable lodging in Ryde
Pros:

My room was very nice and clean. It had a good view of the hovercraft coming and going. It was close to train, ferry and bus line. It was nicely sized and the en-suite was very clean and comfortable. Little things mattered, they had a proper medicine cabinet in the en-suite to keep your grooming items. There was a fan in the room already. The wardrobe knobs were polka dotted which I felt was endearing. The price was brilliant!!

Cons:

Well, my room was at the top and there isn’t a lift in the inn, something to consider if you have mobility issues. It was above the pub, so very loud and noisy until late. I was fine with these issues, but for others they could be critical 🤔

Pros:

We stayed for the music festival so location is perfect for busses and food options.
Room was clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The room was so hot, windows can’t be opened due to road and hovercraft noise. A fan was provided and was a lifesaver but not nearly enough in summer.
No option for breakfast.
