“East Cliff Hotel has prime positioning near the ferry port, and some rooms even boast harbour views; the generous host seems to think of everything with extra snacks and drinks included. Despite the ongoing updates to this old building, rooms are consistently clean and comfortable, making it a great value stay. I think its location and price point are hard to beat.”

The room was spotlessly clean. Everything smelled fresh! we loved the complimentary snacks and drinks. It was such a thoughtful touch. there was a beautiful bay window with a view! free parking right in front made everything easier.
the building is very old, so the windows don't block all the street noise. i noticed that.
