We’ve stayed there before three years ago and noticed there’s quite a lot of rundown in the room that we had. Also hard to check in as there was only one person at the time and had to wait 15 minutes, even to just get an umbrella. But besides, that location is perfect. ##### Ian Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carla Nov 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room was perfect, staff were helpful especially when i had to borrow a phone charger. ##### Carla Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aleisha Sep 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I loved the breakfast set up, (great omelet from the chef)and staff were friendly.
