Lovely little well priced hotel. Bathroom could use a deep clean and a handle on door for the outside of the balcony would be a huge improvement but overall really enjoyable stay.

The room was clean and looked pretty much like the photos online which was a pleasant surprise.
Would only recommend a lick of paint on the outside to match the updated interior.
Definitely stay here again due to the quality and price point.

Completely inflexible
Booked on a Monday for a work trip Thursday that week, plans got changed on Tuesday so rang to see if I could push the booking by a week and they said no because it wasn't within the 7 day cancellation period despite only booking less than 24 hours earlier. Kept entire amount of money paid, not just a percentage. Money gone from my small business who had to change plans, would not recommend after this.

This hotel has restaurant, bar, game room, music, good view of the ocean. Room was standard size with a balcony. Beach was one block away and many places are close by to eat. Hall way carpet needed to be vacuumed,

Cracking place to stay and eat! V
Checked in here for 1 night and liked it so much, we booked for a 2nd night!
Really fantastic hotel - decor in reception area lovely and bar and restaurant superb - especially roof top area! Great vibes.
Food was awesome - we ate at their restaurant (Goldies) for both evenings! Can really recommend the steak but to be honest, everything that came out looked and smelt amazing!
Staff went out of there way to chat to us and give us recommends on what to do / where to see etc. Location is ideal - one block back from the sea/beach but very central to everything and walkable to everywhere!
Would highly recommend this hotel and we would definitely stay here again if we returned!
