Positive: Its hard to say too much about the Ferry Inn given that we arrived at about 530 pm. and had to leave at 530am. to catch the ferry. The room was lovely and clean, and the little interaction we had with staff was great! I would recommend it. It was very conveniently located across from the ferry terminal.

Negative: Nothing to dislike at all
