Very happy with our stay here. Hotel looks like it has recently been renovated. Room was a good size and was clean. Could do with another member of staff; the one lady working when we arrived was checking people in, taking food orders, bringing meals out and tending bar. She was doing an excellent job but clearly two members of staff are needed. There are a few parking spaces at the hotel, but if they're full, plenty of on-street parking is available right outside.

Fine place to stay

We have a room of 2 connected bedrooms with reasonable size. Interior design is a bit out-fashion but is spacious and comfortable. Continental breakfast is just okay. Convenient parking lots

This property is horrible, DO NOT STAY HERE!!! The room was dirty, there were stains on the wall and a dirty cup on the night table. The mattress and pillows were horrible and should be thrown out immediately.

Lovely stay, clean rooms

This was a short stay on a longer trip. We thought the beds were comfortable, check in was quick and the woman working the desk was pleasant. The only thing was the wifi did not work very well in our room which was a bummer as we are traveling from out of the country and were heavily relying on a strong wifi.

Great (very short) stay

Nice hotel wasn’t there for long but the receptionist was very friendly and welcoming. The room was ideal for my needs clean, nice hot shower good internet…bed was too spongy for me but that is an individual thing! All in all a great stay!

Tired as how I would describe this hotel, namely room, number two, as it needed attention; however, the price reflected a lesser quality hotel. The proprietor was very pleasant and attended to our needs. The location is wonderfully close to the beach, the marina and the high Street and is located on a quiet street. Unfortunately, the bathroom needed attention as it had a strong mildew odor; which we believed was caused by water leaking under the tub from the outside. I would likely not stay at this hotel again and certainly not in that room; which was off the lobby area.
