This is a motel, in the most motel way possible. Room was small and carpet appeared dirty. Might be quick and convenient for a guy but not so much for a female.

I really enjoyed my stay, the bed was very comfortable, and close to where I had to be, I plan to stay again next time I’m in town, the only thing that let the room down was the carpet was stained and needed professional cleaning and mould in the shower.

Overall it was fine especially for the cost. The pool hadn’t been cleaned or maintained and my airconditioner didn’t work without heavy leaking.

Beds and pillows were the only let down. Nothing wrong with them, just uncomfortable for me. Pillows were too high and firm and single bed sunk in the middle otherwise great stopover stay with the bistro right downstairs

The room was cleaner & more comfortable than a well known resort I have stayed at. There were however some minor maintenance issues evident (old carpet stains, cracked shower floor tile, small rust spot in bathroom) but they did not detract from the comfort of the room. Overall a good stay and very short walk to the shopping centre & other shops, short drive to beach.

Not bad for one night, room was comfortable and convenient for our stay. Staff lovely and helpful, attached to a pub so a little bit of noise but we knew this on booking so wasn’t an issue. Would recommend a stay for a quick/convenient option.
