    A very unpleasant experience

    Terrible parking experience & ordered to vacate hotel guest parking whilst taking a cafe coffee 5m from my parked vehicle directly in front; having driven 400km Was told 2 minutes you go !!! This is a no go hotel with reception problems & it shows in the aggressive staff attitude as to telling you what to do. I avoided breakfast & departed early morning yet they still tried to charge breakfast at checkout I would not stay here ever again

    We have stayed on all kinds of accommodations on our travels. We can honestly say that this hotel is our favorite on this trip. Our room was ready and AC was on when we checked in 3 hours early. Jessie on the front desk was very welcoming and helpful. Our room has all the touches of a luxury hotel. We seldom recommend hotels but we can say that you get your money’s worth staying here. Location is perfect, you can walk to restaurants and the pier . Our room had a sea view and sunset was amazing. All the staff were very friendly and ready to help. Keep up the good work.
