easy walk convenient parking helpful staff

i found the location really great.. it's an easy walk to both the beach and the town center. parking was also available right outside the hotel, super convenient. even though the staff seemed busy, they were always ready to help and went the extra mile for us.

the shower temperature was hard to adjust, and the water ran a bit too hot.

friendly receptionist room furnishing ample storage yapping dogs dog-friendly hotel deep clean

The receptionist was very friendly and accommodating. Room furnishings were lovely. The bed was comfy. The room size was great and it had plenty of storage. a good sized fan.

I was woken up early the first two days. This was due to yapping dogs as I didn't realise it was a dog-friendly hotel. The hotel is tired and well worn. It is in desperate need of a deep clean.
