Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Dale Mon, 30 June 2025

Disappointed

Liked: The location was great, had good facilities and comfy bed
Disliked: Despite rooms being available the staff sat in reception with the door locked, with a big queue of guests outside until exactly 3pm, not enough parking for the amount of rooms, despite rules of quiet time after 9pm there were still people allowed to gather around the pool shouting, drinking and smoking cannabis until way after 11pm

A comfortable hotel within walking...

Liked: A pretty looking hotel within walking distance of the beach
Disliked: There was a long wait to check in because there are a lot of people checking in at the same time probably because the parking was limited so everyone made sure to arrive for 3 o’clock

Liked: Loved that we can walk to the boardwalk from the hotel it was only 11 mins so very convenient.
Disliked: There was no free breakfast like it states, every time I walked down to the lobby it was always closed you need to call a number so someone can come , we also had about 4 spiders in our rooms.
