Liked: Cleanliness
Although the rooms were very dated, the location and staff made up for this. The bed was comfortable enough but not super comfy. The shower was really hot, lovely. Cafe on site served great coffee and breakfast. The receptionist was lovely. Location was close to the harbour and walking path. Parking was great.

I am not sure if the position makes up for a a bed which I found far too soft.
Loved the property will definitely will return greeted by a lovely man who was very helpful the room was very clean with everything you need the room was even cooled down for us wonderful to walk into on a hot day bed was comfortable, shower had great pressure , the parking was close and secure , right across from the water , easy departure.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Walk-able to many areas. Right across from beach and pool. Lovely grassed area right outside. Onsite free parking. Room was basic but had everything I expected, was clean and spacious with plenty of fresh air. Room felt private and was quiet. Overall an enjoyable experience and I would definitely stay there gain.
