If you're used to visiting the Island during TT week you may be under the impression that the Douglas Ferry Terminal is open all night, so that if you arrive or are leaving in the early hours of the morning you can doss down in a corner for a few hours' kip. Regard that as a tip, if you will...
However, outside of the TT period it closes! I'm not sure about the week of the Manx Grand Prix, but a friend who was travelling for the Southern 100 races in July was planning to while away the hours between arrival late one night and check-in time at his hotel early the following morning, and was asked to leave the terminal because it was closing. Fortunately he was able to make alternative arrangements, but if not, he'd have been wandering the streets of Douglas for 4-5 hours!
