The hotel offers a great view and a clean room, but the carpet and drapes could use a refresh. The service was mixed, with some staff being unfriendly while others were very helpful and friendly. The location was good, a bit of a walk to town but close to the beach and restaurants. The dining options were available, but the price for daily service was an unexpected extra cost.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, though a bit small, were quite comfortable, clean, and equipped with a good oven, microwave, and fridge.

The hotel offers adequate rooms for a short stay, with 2 twin beds for 5 adults. While we didn't expect to spend much time in the room, it served its purpose. The service was a mix of helpfulness and challenges with a credit card issue. The location was superb, close to the beach and amenities, though it felt like a wind tunnel at times. The dining options were local, available at the motel. Overall, a decent stay with some ups and downs.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. Although the rooms were small, they were serviced daily with fresh towels, which was a nice touch for a holiday stay. However, the check-in time of 3 pm meant we had to wait after an early morning arrival. The service staff fixed any issues promptly and were always courteous and friendly, with bonuses like free WiFi and DVD hire. The location was superb, with easy access to attractions and a close bus stop, but the late check-in and unaccommodating attitude of some staff members were drawbacks.
