Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Super easy check-in. Plenty of parking. Very well maintained room. Convenient laundry facilities. Quiet but effective air conditioning. No view from Room 8, but an area outside the ranch slider where you can sit. Generously- sized bathroom and good hot water supply. Modern TV and free Netflix. Small kitchen area and limited equipment, but with so many cafes nearby eating out is the best option. Super close to the beach.

Good, clean, handy to town centre & beach. Facilities were adequate for our 1 night stay. Only criticism is the pull-out sofa bed, pretty old and some broken springs - not a comfortable sleep for my daughter. Other beds were good. Amazing bathroom ☺️
