Beds and pillows were the only let down. Nothing wrong with them, just uncomfortable for me. Pillows were too high and firm and single bed sunk in the middle otherwise great stopover stay with the bistro right downstairs

The room was cleaner & more comfortable than a well known resort I have stayed at. There were however some minor maintenance issues evident (old carpet stains, cracked shower floor tile, small rust spot in bathroom) but they did not detract from the comfort of the room. Overall a good stay and very short walk to the shopping centre & other shops, short drive to beach.

Not bad for one night, room was comfortable and convenient for our stay. Staff lovely and helpful, attached to a pub so a little bit of noise but we knew this on booking so wasn’t an issue. Would recommend a stay for a quick/convenient option.

Receptionist was agresssive when questioned regarding secure parking and use of a hotel trolley - parking was outside in the general area and the only trolley's were from Dan Murphy's adjacent - we were misled No face washers, only one hand towel, no tissues, the bathroom door stop was a steel post which banged against the glass door to the shower - rather dangerous! Once bitten, twice shy - never again
