"I booked a room that was cheaper because it was one floor above a rowdy pub. It was indeed loud with music and conversation, and it went until midnight or so each night of my Thurs-Mon holiday weekend stay — not a huge problem for me, because I was sometimes out late myself and never go to bed early. But trust when the hotel tells you at booking that your room is above a boisterous bar."

"It’s a nice hotel close to the ferry. Unfortunately the closest food is at the golf course, about a 10 minute walk. The food there was very good. Strange setup with the lobby and breakfast buffet in a separate building Don the hill from the guest rooms. Breakfast was weak compared to other Best Westerns"
