The rooms are dated but for the price over Christmas was great. The room is clean and the bed sheets lovely and crisp. Loved the park area and seat on the hill next to the hotel for a quite time overlooking the bay.

Would have been 5 stars for staff but the person at the reception judged my husband and I based on our size with the room we had booked and there was a dead mouse in the pool but overall the bed was soft and the room was clean! The cleaner is amazing and it’s located between 2-10 minutes of everything! Highly recommend despite a couple of issues. We would stay there again.
