The location was great for getting the morning ferry. The hotel was rather tired and in need of refurbishment, but the room itself was comfortable and spotlessly clean. Plenty of hot water for a welcome soak in the bath after a long drive. I would have passed a very comfortable night, had it not been for an alarm sounding loudly at approximately 10.45, waking me from a sound sleep. I started to grab my things, only for the alarm to stop after a few seconds. I fell asleep again, only for the same thing to happen again an hour later. After that, any sleep was fitful and I woke exhausted in the morning. As I made my way downstairs, I could hear the same alarm ringing further down the corridor. There was nobody on Reception and I was more concerned about getting my ferry, so I dropped my room key in the receptacle and left. Were it not for the unexplained alarms, it would have been a comfortable, if basic, stay.
