I didn’t give 5 stars because I had anticipated a bath in the apartment. The sauna, spa and pool was great. Not a lot of parking. Beach is right across the street, and all the shopping nearby.

It is obvious this property relies on its location to attract customers. The facilities are average and poorly maintained. Laminex surfaces badly chipped, metal corroded and patching of damaged walls obvious. Just a place to sleep!

Oh my gosh the location is beautiful. You aren’t paying for the room, you are paying for the view. It’s just beautiful. Bathroom was very average. Needs a good clean and maybe a bit of a Reno. Felt dirty and didn’t feel comfortable using the shower. Very basic room, old furniture but it did the job. First impression of walking to the room we saw a mouse run across the footpath near the pool. Was kind of gross but not the hotels fault. Can’t help nature I guess
