Not a bad spot, short walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. The manager was friendly. Included parking. Room was comfortable enough with decent amenities and mostly clean. I felt a bit overpriced but it is holiday season. Probably wouldn’t stay here again but 1 night was okay.
We were at the front on the left which must have once been part of the managers living space.
The way curtains were set up over the sliding door on the right made it difficult to get in and out the door (no access to the other sliding door on left)
Big spa bath but the jets didn’t seem very clean and not great water pressure so we didn’t use it (I’m not a spa person anyway)
Great to see a microwave & a toaster! Don't get those in rooms too often these days.

Felt like a room that had been renovated out of part of a house complex, the spa bath jets and everything were putrid and the shower was over the top, it was right on the edge of the footpath of the road which meant it was extremely noisy all night.apart from that it was okay

We were greeted by a very helpful and friendly staff. She let us know what restaurants and shopping was in the area. The room was clean and bright and had everything that you could want. The beach and the cafes was only a 5 minute walk.
