We wanted a hotel with parking close to the ferry terminal for the next morning. This fit the bill. It was clean, staff was very friendly and helpful especially with a lot of luggage. Diverse array of breakfast foods were available the next morning. The area is busy and street parking is difficult. Fortunately they have a garage below with easy in/out access.
