Disliked: Amenities
Only ok. Nothing bad, just everything not great. Poor wifi, hard bed, mediocre shower, thin walks so noisy. Annoyance at check-in asking for a physical CC which no one carries any longer. Positives are good location walk to beach and restaurants/club. For the price I’ll be looking elsewhere.

Our room had two doors for entry and exit. One of them didnt have the resistance as the other for our 3yr old and she kept opening and escaping. Bought it up with the front desk and there was nothing they could do to assist with the problem. Also wifi was not good, couldn't sign into any streaming networks, fridge had broken shelfs. Had no bbqs to cook with as you can't cook inside your room.Staff was nice, room was clean and decent. Beds were comfortable. Location was good.

Room was spotless, and receptionist very helpful. Furnishings were what we wanted and were able to watch TV sitting on lounge and not a bed. Also had crockery and cutlery we needed as well as microwave. Would stay there again.

The staff was very kind. Free parking and just a few minutes to the bay and beaches, a good price to stay. The building is a little bit old, but very clean and neat inside. If I visit this area, I would stay again willingly.
