Great views and location with friendly and helpful staff. Room we had was a bit old and dated - commensurate with cost I guess. Check before you book. They have newer accomodation for extra cost if that suits you better.

This property was clean, but old. No A/C only a window at front door, which I felt a little unsafe to leave open all night. The bed was super comfortable as well as pillows.Shower was over bath with shower curtain. For the money, felt it was a little dear. Lovely area, right on the water.

Room was clean and tidy. Not sure why there was a mirror where I thought the tellie should have been. They mentioned a cleaning fee might be applied if the room was un-tidy or dishes not washed. Bit hard to wash dishes when there is no washing up liquid. Over all a pleasant stay.
