We found it strange that the bedroom did not have a window. It was the way the unit was designed but did not like not been able to open a window. Outside in the car park could be tidier to make a more attractive entry.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
A great clean, modern motel with balconies and the fresh air of the sea just a few mins away from your room. Lovely having a spa bath and a good strong hot shower. Things that marked it down were maybe some more blankets and had to ask for the linen for the sofa bed and when delivered no pillow cases. Some of the lights in the kitchen area were not working, they would have made a less harsh light for main living area. Lights

Room was big and very comfortable, however somme items in the room looking very "tired" and ready for replacement. Minimal contact with staff, they did not interact with me or appear friendly at all.
