The place was clean comfortable warm and the facilities were great. The room was tired looking and could do with some simple upgrades but over all it was great for what I needed. Would stay there again for sure. Only down fall if families were there that didn’t control there kids with running around, yelling and slamming doors on my last night there. Staff were great and friendly and helpful. Thankyou. 😊
Check in tricky as no one on site unless you ring, had a plumbing issue in bathroom which left us unable to shower etc in the morning so we used the kitchen sink which also had a dodgy tap
It was affordable and very handy but don’t expect too much
Very friendly at checkin..taking us to our room.
Old complex,but quiet & well kitted out.
Couch & all utensils,microwave

there was an error with my booking date and they would not assist al all insisting I book and pay for another night.
I decided to stay at Wrights by the Sea, extremely accomodating .
Infact last time i stayed at U Studio tgere was an exposed unsafe power point in the bathroom.
The staff were so friendly and helpful. Great location, had everything we needed in our unit.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I was kept awake through the night and early morning noisey neighbours and kids wandering about at 2 in the morning. I couldn’t feel secure so left in the early morning
Firstly the towel rail wasnt there but a note to say hang towels on rail instead of having them changed daily to help with water and power.
Secondly there was a note saying for guests not to use the spa bath or bath but no reason why, this was disappointmenting especially to hear another room was able to use theres.
My son and i both have been bite by fleas or something similar from the stay.
There was no kitchen sink to wash dishes in so this had to be done in bathroom sink next to toilet...yuck!
First night when we arrived we had been left one facecloth for all 3 of us. The next day we were give 2 to use. I had booked us in for 3 people to stay. Thankfully we were given 3 towels.
One light didnt work and the fan in bathroom hardly worked which ment after a shower there was condensation in the room
So not happy and wouldnt recommend or return.

It was fine for one night, but basic things like doors not closing properly, curtains coming off the rails, mould on the roof in the bathroom. Definitely a 3-star quality place, but beds were comfy and we slept well. Get what you pay for.
Disappointed that the room didnt have a bath like it is listed to have.
We got there and the carpet of our room by the bathroom was very wet, we rang and told them so the duty manager showed up and just gave us some towels to put on it.
Next morning another worker shower up and replaced the towels for others.
The room had a really average smell so I assume the leak had been around for a while.
We loved that we could bring our dog millie too. We had birthday 🎂 celebrations and the location was perfect for shops, food options and beach. Millie says thank you to Saturday crew for all the extra love, cuddles and attention. Definitely will be back. Thanks superstars
Very nice hotel about a 5 minute walk from the beach and various shops and restaurants. Only thing is there’s no AC, just a fan in the room so you will have to leave some windows open and the fan running in the summertime
