What a great place to stay. Relaxed, great facilities, beautiful setting. We really enjoyed our stay. It is an older establishment, with some upgrades, and situated a little out of town. I really liked its hokey 80's vibes. The restaurant was great, the food fresh, well priced, and a great selection. All in all we were pretty happy with our stay.

Puctures in thus site do not reflect the actual condition of the hotel or rooms. Very tired and need a full make over but was clean and service was good. Its cheaper for a reason and you would need a car as away from main esplanade etc.
