Traveller reviews

“Clean, Comfortable Accomodation Close to Ferry Terminal”
10 Apr 2025
Excellent stay, perfect accomodation close to the ferry terminal. Staff were amazing. Would recommend and return.

“What a great find”
28 Feb 2025
Great for people coming to visit the island on foot. You walk off the ferry, short walk to departure bay motel. Then hook up with Island bus link at the ferry terminal which connects you to the rest of the island. Very convenient, and cost effective

“Great value for money in a convenient location”

Closeness to the ferry after arriving late from LA.

“Superb”

Good parking space - was able to park right in front of my room. Room had basic amenities. Mattress was just the right balance of firm and soft.

“Clean, comfortable bed, room needs updating. Decent value for the price.”
30 Dec 2024
While the room was basic and dated, the towels and bedding were good quality, the room was clean, and the bed was newer and very comfortable. Staff were lovely. The room was quiet.

“Fair”

Friendly staff, great location, ok price for the smaller, older, and kinda dirty rooms.

I was surprised at how well appointed the rooms were.

“Outstanding location for the early ferry connections.”

The lady who checked us in was friendly, efficient and helpful. The room was very clean and met our needs. The location is excellent if you are going to catch the ferry especially at 6:30 am!
