Nice location, lovely view of ocean and very quiet room. We only stayed overnight but it would be a great location for a holiday base to do day trips from.

The room was clean and large, the bed very comfy, the water was hot, the parking easy and the staff friendly. However this hotel had seen better days. The sites say a 24 hr front desk, well sort of. I never got to see the front desk, When I arrived which was within normal working hours, the door was closed and I had to phone for attention. If it wasnt for mobile phones I may still be standing in the car park. The website I first visited I'm sure said free breakfast but that seems to have been removed. Having dietary issues I normally buy supplies for breakfast, but finding a shop nearby (and not a petrol station) which had gluten free bread, cereal, and lactose free milk was not easy, a folder of such information in the room would have been handy, plus information on places to eat. Although the bed was comfy we could have done with an extra blanket, and extra pillows. I don't recommend it to older people, the stairs are awful. Also walls do not stop sound of snoring next door. But cheap and cheerful.

I felt very disappointed. Because the room was not looks like in pictures. The room was stinking and the towels in the room was like they didn't wash them from a long time. There was broken hair on the floor. Overall, the property was below average.

We were first given a room that was absolutely vile, water damaged furniture, grubby, dusty. a health hazard. not fit for purpose. then after complaining was offered to see a different room. on the ground floor which was clean, newly renovated and fine for our stay. The tiny court yard garden was still a mess with the aftermath of the renos. If you book here ask to see the room before you pay or agree to stay.

I found the room comfortable. The TV was not working well, but the manager changed the batteries in the remote and it was okay. The booklets and the shampoo were out of my reach and the towel rail in the bathroom was missing.
