While it was obvious that there were nice upgrades being made (e.g., new fridge, etc), there were parts of the room that were rusting away. We didn’t feel comfortable walking barefoot on the bathroom floor. It was fairly quiet and very convenient off the ferry.

My bed was clean other than that. Everything else was dirty. The shower curtain was disgusting. The kitchen was filthy. It needed to be scrubbed down from top to bottom.. I guess the old thing goes you get what you pay for

The door handle on the fridge/sink/stove combo was attached with duct tape and hot glue. The carpets were gross and the beds were 3/4 not even a double. Disappointing.

Affordable, older hotel, Renovated. Needs ventilation fans in the redone bathrooms though, also take out the old radiators, not used as new heat pumps installed. But good otherwise!
