This is a very nice and convenient hotel right on the water by the pier with easy access to the Falmouth ferry and very central to all the surroundings area. We had breakfast in another location as we explored this lovely sea port area overlooking the Falmouth Bay.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
My room was well furnished and recently decorated. The rest of the hotel was distinctly shabby. There was no telephone in the bedroom and no information about hotel sevices like wifi. On one day my room was not serviced despite me being out for twelve hours and hanging the right sign on the door. Breakfasts were expensive and of very poor quality. There was no parking at the hotel.
