Toilet was blocked and overflowed. Do not stay here over a weekend - constant noise from bars and pub goers. It depends on the people staying at same time as you, but various parties dragged their suitcases down the concrete steps very early doors. DO NOT stay on ground floor as ceilings don’t hide a thing. We had someone stomping above us all night. Noisy cars throughout the night. Staff were very unhelpful when we commented about being disappointed with our stay. Our baby didn’t sleep well. The pillows were insanely big and uncomfortable. The bedding left a lot to be desired. Top sheet changed (hopefully) but seemingly just an uncovered duvet thrown on top. All felt very grimy and almost pay by the hour vibes. Photos look far better than the reality. I’d give it 0 stars if I could and I don’t think I’ve ever left a review for anything. Certainly not a hotel. But this one is warranted. Spoke to and heard multiple parties the next day leaving and saying they’d not stay again. Laughed it off but seriously not a good experience when on holiday.

This accomodation has a lot of potential and is in a nice area for walking, nightlife and restaurants. The bathroom was in need of a deep clean, as well as the tiles (and in the kitchen) Cushions in the lounge need a good wash. Unfortunately another guest was given the same room as ours and walked in!!.. It was then we realised we should have had the room more centre of the complex with the better view as requested, but missed out. We did ask if we could swap but no help there, which was a dissappointing start. So for the first time 3 stars from us.

Staff were great. Room and noise from other stayers were bad. Carpet had been cleaned and they had failed to dry the carpet correctly so the room stunk of musty carpet. Noise is an issue. Any inconsiderate person on the walkway outside the rooms is heard clearly like they are in your room. Leaving the ranchslider open means you will hear screeching gulls all night. Motel 8 quality rooms.

Staff were awesome and so nice. Great location! I think the room could’ve been cleaner, there were dirty dishes in the cupboard, food on the ground, and hair in the bathroom. However, overall it was a good place to stay.
