Cheap, but not good value
On arriving, the car parking spaces are limited and very very small, barely able to get out your door when parked. When you go from your room to the car park, the lift is not accessible to use, you have to go all the way back to reception area, to get back to your room.
Finding the room was a nightmare, poorly signposted and over various levels and corridors.
Room was a good size and looked clean. Has good amenities.
Bed was comfortable enough, but the pillows and bedding smelled fusty and like unclean.
I would not return here again, for all the reasons above.

Good beach location
Staff were polite & helpful. Hotel is in need of some TLC, but was comfortable for 1 night. Good location for beach walks.
