Everything about the hotel was poor. No place to park temporarily till you try to check in or find out about parking. No signs in the street that say no parking.. we parked our car on the street for 5 min to just go in to ask about parking, behind the row of other parked cars and landed up with a $50 parking ticket. The bathrooms kept getting clogged. No water bottles available. Only 2 towels provided. Minimal amenities — definitely not worth $200.00 we spent. The additional $75.00 they took for security is yet to be returned..

Very run down rooms, rusty door locks , rusty shower rods felt dirty, bare minimum room, everything needed updates or fixing. Close to the beach which is nice and has a pub and gelato place in the same building. Check in was quick, just crowded as it’s a small reception area. The noise was horrendous, airplanes taking off, every noise outside you can hear
