For a last minute booking (no research) this place was a pleasant stay. It was very neatly appointed, clean and modern. Bed was very comfy. It was well priced for a coastal stay. Would definitely plan to stay here next time we are in the neighbourhood. I would recommend considering this for your next stay.
