nice place, close to the harbour
I felt like a naughty kid for turning up early, but the guy who runs it was very nice. good selection for continental breakfast and an easy walk to everything in town. owner even offered to run us down to the ferry

We had a twin room which was the smallest in the hotel even though we had booked many months previously. The manager did not agree to us changing to the larger lighter room next door. We discovered we had booked earlier than most so it should have been agreed. We are two ladies of a particular age and size. The bathroom drains smelled and were right next to the bed I was in. The shower was dripping so I put a flannel on the floor so it did not keep me awake through the night. The bathroom was tiny like the room. The breakfast was excellent. The owners outside our request to change rooms were polite.

The accommodation is easy to find and very close to all the local amenities. The room was clean, neat and tidy with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast is included in the stay and is self service in the kitchen area. Other than check in I never saw the host/proprietor which some people may find a little unsociable; on the other hand some people may like.

A friendly welcome. Motel is older and in need of refurbishment. Cold throughout but a good heater in the bedroom. The bed was excellent with nice linen. Good continental breakfast but dining area cold. Sky television advertised in room compendium but not available.

Della was very welcoming and accommodating. The rooms were spotless, all credit to your cleaner! The dining room had a great view, the table linen was pristine and the breakfast was great. The lodge is centrally located, the only down side can be the limited parking, but there is parking on the street, so advise to get there early.

Good enough for a night. Room was a bit cramped with twin beds, a sink and a small bathroom. But the shower was hot, beds were comfortable and also had a small fridge. Could hear the neighbors and people walking the halls. Location in town was great - walked to the waterfront down High Street to find restaurants.

Nice facilities
The woman in charge was delightful. Breakfast very nice as was the dining room/kitchen/lounge. The only thing that let it down was the bed. It was very very uncomfortable. The mattress was appalling with large hollows in it. We talked to the woman in charge who said that she had told the owner about it before and a new mattress was supposed to be forthcoming. We would definitely stay there again...but would check first to make sure the mattress had been changed or we got a different roo.

Bed was horrible. Room 6 wIndow at ground floor opened onto narrow driveway of adjoining apartment building - anyone walking up the driveway could have reached right in to shake hands or worse. There was no air circulation. Window blinds need replacement. Heard strange noises in the walls throughout the night.

Room was extremely small and certainly NOT worth $120. Fire and Life Safety notice totally inadequate and poorly displayed. Mattresses on both beds need to be replaced immediately- totally past their comfort date! Inadequate space for two suitcases. Breakfast satisfactory and guests expected to wash plates and cups.
