This is one of our favourite no‑fuss hotels. However, our most recent stay wasn’t quite as good— the mattress in Room 204 definitely needs replacing. It was very uncomfortable for both of us. That said, for a low‑budget hotel with a great location and convenient parking, it’s otherwise a solid choice.

Partial ocean view. Was a bit noisy because of the pub at night. Cleaners were lovely and made my daughters day when they replied to her note that she left with a joke for them. Pool was great and gym was pretty good as well. Very convenient location, we were able to walk everywhere and car park was easy to use.

Awesome spot with friendly staff and a great location, close to everything you need. The smaller rooms are comfortable, though a toaster or microwave would be a nice addition.
