The location is great, 1 block from the beach. There is no A/C. Ok for most days with a cool ocean breeze. Had a record hot spell for 2days, 85F and so a little warm at night

We waited 2 hours before we could get into our room as I didn’t receive the codes need to enter the premises or our room. It wasn’t flash but was clean & comfortable. The Manager was very accommodating & helpful in settling us into our room once we eventually gained access. There wasn’t any toilet paper available so we had to provide our own. Excellent location, limited timed parking is a bit annoying but we were lucky enough to get a free park out the front or just around the corner.

Made to feel like an inconvenience not a guest

Staff were not friendly or welcoming and we were made to feel like an inconvenience rather than guests. My mate went to ask about a parking permit Saturday morning and was greeted with 'Is it a quick question' on entry to office. Not even a 'Good Morning' to accompany it. Understand it's not the Hilton but some customer service wouldn't go astray.

Room was clean. As there was availability, the property manager kindly upgraded me from a single to double room. But for $220 for one night I would have expected an ensuite. The view of the petrol station was noisy. Might search harder for another next time

Very disappointed with customer service. It was advertised that our room had a private bathroom and got here and there was no private bathroom- it was shared. We paid extra for the private. There was no one on reception due it covid but this was not advertised on any of the booking information.

It’s in a good position though parking is difficult. We had to move the car every two hours from 8am. Room is tiny. There were no blankets just a sheet and light cover so we had to keep the heater on all night as it’s the middle of winter. Ok for a quick overnight overall. Like a youth hostel.

Bien placé et agréable

Nous sommes arrivés après les horaires d’ouverture de l’accueil et le système mis en place pour récupérer les clefs de la chambre et top !! Un petit message au numéro affiché et une personne vous répond rapidement avec toutes les explications !!! Les salles de bain sont très propres, le lieu est agréable, les chambres sont bien équipé. Juste nos draps n’étaient pas très propres.... heureusement nous avions nos duvets. Mais c’est quand même une super auberge de jeunesse !!! Bien placé aussi

Not a guest house

This accommodation may be listed as a guest house, but it's a youth hostel full of backpackers/communal room and kitchen full of 18-year olds from the UK and Europe. If that's your thing, go ahead and book. If you want to stay in an actual guest house, I'd recommend booking somewhere else.
