Economical accommodations and a great location!
We had a brief one-night stay on our way up the coast. Excellent location in town. Nice to fix morning coffee and walk across the street to stroll the wonderful beach. Front staff mate was excellent (Davie?). Very quiet location and convenient to everything we needed!

Staff was lovely, letting us check in early (1pm).
The room was adequate. Have had to get some extra stuff as it wasn’t facilitated for 3 guests to begin with. We’ve left feedback for the staff, won’t get into it as they know what they can improve on.

The location was excellent. The room set out was just what we wanted for 5 Adults. We only had one minor problem was the AC wasn't working but it was one of those things that can be fixed.

This property was really great and matched the pictures in online advertising. Very clean and fresh, very comfortable beds and had everything we needed. Very central for food and shopping and directly across the road to the beach. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to family and friends.
