Buccaneer Inn

Buccaneer Inn

8/10 Good
"It was basic but comfortable enough and clean for a 1 night stay before an early ferry sailing. No AC but tower fan was provided and effective. Outside noise transfers into the rooms from highway and people walking along the outside walkway. Mini fridge and coffee provided as well as microwave, cutlery and plates and mugs."
