The staff are friendly and helpful. The room was kept very clean by the staff (& me). The shops are closely - just walk thru the Bottle shop driveway. The only problem I had was the fridge in the room that froze everything - even on the lowest setting.

It was a pleasant stay with a nice sea view from the balcony. The lady at the counter was very nice and the check in was fast. The room was nice. I would stay here again without hesitation.

Thankful for the 24hr reception as we were able to make a booking well after midnight and at such late notice too, the staff were super accommodated and more than helpful.

Two things that i think need addressing is the metal door frame to the toilet is really bad both myself and my partner kicked our toes on it more than once also the light switches are super mega confusing they need to be labelled they are annoying

Very noisy live music venue until 11pm Wednesday through to Sunday- live music use to be in adjoining building- no longer.
Noisy rooms- guests smoking in rooms- noisy but friendly room service starting early.

Fun stay at a quiky hotel.
The hotel is clean but definitely dated. Thats probably part of the charm.
The bed is large and comfortable, the shower not so much.
The pub downstairs is a big draw card. Lots of things happening. I especially enjoyed the trivia on Tuesday and unplugged music on Thursday.
I would definitely return.

Like stepping back into the 70s. This property isn't brand new but its clean ans tidy. The nostalgia really added to the atmosphere. Great stay and good option for the area. Close walk to anywhere you want to be.
