overall the place is lovely - very light and airy and clean. the one thing that let us down was the scum around the taps in bathroom sink and the scum around the sink - the rest was clean however didn't finish the job. As a result I ended up cleaning it myself with tissue and a spoon the clean the edges. Was so simple to clean and if I had cleaning fluid would have taken seconds - lazy cleaning. Didn't end up staying the night and left early

Just basic... I won't go there again
Just basic...
I know it was cheap, but extremely basic.
All very old and out dated. Bad beds and pillows, no kitchenette only a toaster and kettle on one "cupboard", a fridge over there. No lounge and a tiny table.
Old bathroom with a shower curtain that was not closing due to a screw in the track.
No flyscreens in the window & only letting flys in, so we just kept the aircon on most of the time (a shame as I love the coastal air and it wasn not too hot)
The room was huge and totally waste of space
Other guests were loud till 10pm and no one fro the hotel told them to quite down

Hospitality the worst.
There was no one in attendance during the hours they promised reception to be open. I had to look long and hard for a phone number to raise someone. When I did, the phone message said no one is in attendance and a message could not be left. That is the worst feeling I have ever had in arriving to a place. Other aspects are: crack in the bathroom basin; no soap-holder in the shower; toilet lid cracked; bathroom fan too noisy; no Queen bed as booked, instead a double; sliding door to balcony difficult when attempting to slide; no box of tissues; roof structure above the balcony had its roof missing; only one bedside table light; some furniture missing creating a big 'hole' in the room; lighting was awful. The whole thing was substandard.

Good location but unfortunately the bedsheets on one of the beds had insects in them which bit me throughout the night. There was also no bin in the room.

The premises looked okay from outside though the lawns were infested with weeds, The room at first sight seemed okay but on further use I found the bathroom to be very much in need of maintenance No microwave supplied and no wine or spirit glasses provided also.

This is an older property that is being progressively restored and improved. We have stayed multiple times, and it gets better every time.
