Great Staff and Management friendly and welcoming, make you feel like home away from home. Parking is right in front of the hotel and there is lots of parking. Rooms are spacious and bed was comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. Spacious and relaxing lounge and bar area. A mere two-minute walk to the beach and a lovely promenade, for a walk.

Lakota

Liked: Staff & service
The room was very hot and muggy, the window barely opened so there wasn't enough airflow to cool the room. The bed was terrible, it was so hard. The water pressure in the shower was practically nonexistent. The room could do with a better cleaning. The tv was nice though, good size and quick response time. Overall it was ok but I wouldn't stay there again.
