harbor front gem

main street short distance helpful staff clean hotel
the location was special, right on the main street facing the lovely harbor. i found the train station just a short distance away. the helpful staff kept everything wonderfully clean.
the building had several floors and sadly no lift. this made getting luggage upstairs slightly difficult.
Dining
9/10
the hotel offered a nice tea selection in the rooms, a welcome touch. i noticed breakfast service with views of the wharf. it's a great way to start the day before exploring the surrounding area.

Seaside Stay

great location main street bus stops
The hotel is in a great location on the main street. I could walk to many places. The railway station and bus stops are nearby. Breakfast one morning was nice.
The night staff was rude. They said I could not bring liquids into the hotel. It was a problem because there was a fridge in the room.

amazing breakfast excellent location homey touch
I really liked the breakfast with views of the wharf. It looked out towards mull! the location is very nice. I could easily walk everywhere. the hotel features some homey touches, not like a chain hotel.

Kinda Central Location is All It Has

many stairs food restriction
Its location near Main Street was okay, I guess.
There are so many stairs here, just great, especially because no one mentions it. Then, like, outside food wasn't permitted. I found this ridiculous, particularly with the unplugged mini-fridge they provide. Maybe it is just for show.
