It was really cheap for a weekend stay. We got a park under the hotel which was great. The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It is also in a great central location to the town and beach.

Great place to stay. Nice room but without a reading bed lamp. Not sure whether they service the rooms everyday, but are happy to help with anything you require. Can be a little noisy if music is playing downstairs but this doesn't go late into the night.
