My room was clean. The Tv didn’t work, the fridge was a small makeup fridge not a bar fridge and the shower drain was blocked so flooded not just my bathroom but also my room and the hallway

I liked the fact we could check in anytime and was close to ferry terminals, apart from that what it said about our room was a fake no privacy and very small

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was OK. I never saw a single staff member! I booked on line and arrived to find my registration for at the front counter. When I left I dropped my key in the drop box. Strange. No heating, no cooling. Hot summers day and opening a small window wasn't much help. The grounds were awfully run down! TV aerial lyyerally falling off the roof! Stacks of cardboard boxes and overgrown plants
Harbour View is accurate
Boxes look like they've been there a while! Look at the dishevalled curtains too
The shower and toilet were in the same little cubicle. No sink in the bathroom. Toilet covered in water
One little window is ventilation
