Room was spotless, and receptionist very helpful. Furnishings were what we wanted and were able to watch TV sitting on lounge and not a bed. Also had crockery and cutlery we needed as well as microwave. Would stay there again.

The staff was very kind. Free parking and just a few minutes to the bay and beaches, a good price to stay. The building is a little bit old, but very clean and neat inside. If I visit this area, I would stay again willingly.
