Warren, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was quite nice and clean. The loud noise of the machines that were resurfacing the walkway out side the front rooms at 8am in the morning until we left at 10 was unbearable and ruined the whole experience of being away for a night at the island for me.

Great communication re access and parking, comfortable room and bed. Nicely presented and well located.
Michael, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was lovely and clean. Quite spacious and over all very good apart from the main bed mattress being hard and uncomfortable. Shower door opened inwards only and when in the shower you are unable to close the door so had to shower with the door open. It could have been just that 1 room and I would let it stop me from going again if only there for 1 night.
Marcus, 1-night trip
