"I loved the location and staff. The rooms were small but well stocked and comfortable. The second room we rented only had a sink -the toilet and shower facilities were in the hallway but it didn’t seem to be much of an issue unless you awake several times a night. A hidden surprise that we found out about by mistake…there is a walking path just outside the hotel entrance “behind the restaurant” (take a left) that leads to a beautiful trail and meanders to the road near the bay."

"Hotel seemed nice enough. Clean, fine location for where I needed to be. Room was very spacious although in-room amenities a bit disappointing - TV small and oddly located for size of room (would have been difficult to watch from either the bed or the sofa), no conditioner provided just shampoo (my hallmark for the quality of a hotel!) and instant coffee is bad enough, but Nescafe? Who even drinks this?! But minor gripes really, hotel was fine, staff very friendly and helpful."
