super clean room comfortable bed tea facilities
The room was very large and spotlessly clean. It featured a comfortable double bed and two bedside cabinets with lamps. The suite included a desk unit with tea and coffee as well as a hairdryer.
The on-street parking requires finding a permit space, which can be difficult late at night.

adequate stay overall

amazing location recliner sofa quiet suite dated headboard mould spots dirty brush
the location was amazing! i found bottled water and a three-seater recliner sofa in the suite i occupied. the suite was also notably quiet. it was very large, too.
The headboard was not on the bed base. It seemed very dated. i noticed some black mould spots around the shower cubicle in the bathroom. the toilet brush was also dirty.

A Nice Stay!

clean room excellent location vegan option helpful staff
The room was very clean and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The hotel's location was fantastic as the beach was just a short walk away. I particularly enjoyed the vegan options. The chef prepared a vegetable hotpot that was AMAZING!!! The staff were helpful. They went out of their way to provide excellent service.
The shower unit looked somewhat dated. It could benefit from an update.

The foyer's bar area was smart. The bartender was knowledgeable and even produced a cocktail or two. The staff were lovely and chatty. A nice touch was the staff lined up when guests were arriving for dinner.

The food was a credit to the chef. I was impressed they catered well to gluten-free diets when notified. The hotel is in a great location close to the beach. It is a short walk to the town.
My room seemed like it could use some refurbishment. The window was also dirty. I did have to walk a long way from the car, which wasn't ideal.
