The Cabins are great for backpackers just needing an affordable please to sleep and shower, way better than a hostel or guest house. The beds are really confortable and A/C works. They also have a cafe and rooftop bar! Parking cost $20 extra and I wish they had something to lock my pacsafe bag to while I was out, but really enjoyed my stay.

Small room, small price. This is not a normal hotel room. No chairs, very little floor space. We just needed a place to store our luggage and take a shower (in the shared bathroom) before a long flight. It worked very well for that purpose.

Good overnight hotel option

We stopped here for one night before taking the Ferry the next day. I was honestly surprised of how well taken care of this hotel is, shared bathrooms but they are very well maintained and extremely comfortable beds!

Property is great. Right across the street from the ferry. There’s 5-6 restaurants around within walking distance. The Main Street is fine. Be careful walking at night. Odd there’s no real easy accessible way of renting bicycles. Not the hotels fault. Hotel itself is great! Restaurant and a rooftop bar offer pristine views!
