Needs TLC.

What was wrong: Window coverings too small &/or broken = no privacy; no smoke detector; no door sill on door to keep bugs and weather out; rotting trim in bathroom; mold/mildew on tub/tile; lack of plug ins &/or functioning plug ins. What was good: Pleasant and polite staff; clean beds, bedding and towels; Nice yard and free access to mini golf across the road.

Lovely staff but very few items in the kitchenette so not usable. I had to ask for a few utensils so I could eat my breakfast. Curtains did not hang right and the bedroom curtains were too small for the window.

When we checked in the staff were accommodating, explained to us about the free mini golf course and where we can access with free ice and our spot for free parking. They also showed us the access to the beach for a short walk. Inside our room spacious. Washroom was cleaned except that the floor wasn’t cleaned for our three days of stay. Kitchen was okay curtain was undone one ring, no ec

The staff were great but the cleanliness was bad there were hairs all over the room place we found someone else’s sunscreen under the bed . You can tell they don’t care about the cleanliness inside . It smelled horrid as well, the outside has windows in the back and it’s full of there junk . For the amount they charge to stay it should be fully renovated . The price is way to exspensive for the dirty mess and the quality of the place .

Rooms need updating and bathroom was a bit dingy. It served its purpose for the two nights we stayed there but in the future I would stay at the Coast right next door. The pros to this place is the area it’s in. You can walk to the beach and restaurants within 10 minutes.

Okay for 1 night

When we checked in we were advised that a damage deposit had already been deducted from credit card used to guarantee booking. Every other place we have stayed have asked for this on arrival. Very unhappy about this and no apology given. However we were then told that we had been ungraded to a bigger room with kitchenette. Ineffective aircon unit in room but beds comfy.
