Carrington House Hotel

Carrington House Hotel

8/10 Good
"Great hotel, pool is a bonus and the games room. Staff are lovely and helpful. Down fall is the family rooms are a maze to get too, no AC and the fans they have are terrible. It’s dated and old but great atmosphere close to the beach and a budget hotel. You get what you pay for. We have a great time!"

"The staff were helpful and friendly. The hotel was kept well as a historic building. The bath room was clean and recently refurbished. However, bathtub access need to improve for the safety. It was very slippery and no handle to hold. The location to/from beach was excellent and to/from station was easy by a taxi."
