This is a small old-style motel that has the basics plus a self-serve laundry room. It’s several blocks from the ferry and bus stations, It was clean and quiet the night we stayed there.

We have stayed here twice due to the convenience for the ferry. Can't really complain, it's a typical fairly dated motel. Everything works and it's fine for an overnight at a reasonable price.

This motel had spacious rooms with good amenities including a full size cooker. It was clean and warm. We were grateful for an early check in after a walk in the rain from the train station. Fresh milk that was provided is always more welcome than the uht small containers.
