This is a quirky little hotel and we loved it. Great location, super friendly staff. The food was good and the beer was cold. There is a lift which was very good with our luggage and easy parking. Would recommend this great spot.

A basic hotel at a fair price. Ranaa the host was very helpful. The hotel is in a beautiful neighborhood, a short walk to the High St. There's lots of parking. Jackos Pub was a good place for a pub meal.

The hotel receptionist was friendly and welcoming. Our room #3 was spacious and well-equipped with many amenities, including a fan that helped keep the room comfortable and improved airflow. The bed was very comfortable, and the beach was only a short walk from the hotel. The beach itself was beautiful and made for a wonderful experience. The only issue we encountered was at the hotel restaurant for dinner. We waited approximately 10 minutes without being greeted or served, so we decided to dine at a nearby restaurant instead. The full breakfast the next morning was delicious and made up for the previous evening’s inconvenience. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely return to this hotel in the future.
