The room was spacious enough.
The noise levels at night were unacceptable. Live music from the pub downstairs went on until late, and i struggled to sleep before it stopped. I found it very disruptive and annoying.

convenient locationbus stopferry portloud musicsmall bedno soundproofing
i was very happy with the location. the bus stop was just across the road, perfect for exploring. the proximity to the ferry port was also very convenient (it saved me a lot of time).
the music from the pub below was quite loud. it continued until late, difficult to sleep. the bed was also a bit small and not very comfortable. there was no soundproofing, i could hear noise from downstairs until late on friday night.

great locationaffordable pintscozy room
The hotel is conveniently close to the hover port and the bus station. Both were steps away. I found the live music to be amazing. The pints were very affordable. My room had everything I needed. It was comfy and cosy, TOO.
The shower needed slightly more water pressure, but this is a minor detail.
Location

The hotel is situated directly across from bus stops, the hovercraft terminal, and the train station. This placement makes it convenient for travel. The beach is also a short walk away, AS are various shops.

great locationuseful kitchencommunity support
the location near the hovercraft and ferry terminal was ideal. a bus terminal outside offered easy access to the entire island. the guest kitchen included a microwave and a sink and provided extra utensils. i found the support for veterans and the community a nice touch.
The blind in my room was broken. I could not pull it up completely.
