If arriving via ferry, the National Hotel is the large white hotel and main attraction directly across the street from the dock and would not require a taxi unless traveling with the elderly or a person requiring special circumstances. The Spring House Hotel is a gentle, brief 5-minute uphill walk from the dock. It is an easy walk while rolling your carry-on luggage. Staying at other hotels in the area that aren't onshore may require a taxi transfer.
