"Use this hotel for pre-cruises. Great location and not too far from the city HighStreet area, walking to the ferry or easy access for some great pub/eateries around the corner. Own eatery for breakfast is also quite good and there is the option of eating in the room with your own food if that is your preference. Disappointed this time as the eatery was closed down for the evening due to ??? Staff are very friendly and willing to help you when needed.
