Our stay was quick, it was a stopping point on our travels to get to the ferry early the next morning. It was clean and easy to get to. Close to restaurants and any other shopping. Off the highway and in a plaza. People may find noise, that would be the only issue as it is close to the highway but not really an issue for our immediate needs. We had a small balcony which was nice to sit out in the fresh air and allow air into the room. Breakfast is available but we left to early to try.
