"Its an older building, great job renovating the inside, outside looks more run down. Pool could use some seating for adults not swimming, even basic benches, but a good pool otherwise Staff at Rickis is great!!! Can be noisy since its an older building so above neighbours can be noisy"

"This hotel was convenient for us as we were catching a ferry the following morning. We found the staff very friendly and helpful. The bed was great and breakfast was a nice perk. The lobby lacked decor, and not very appealing however that is less important. Probably fine for a short stay."
