Overnight stay
Quick overnight visit. Very helpful staff.
Stairs to room were steep but nice gentleman helped with luggage.
They have two washers and driers, which was a plus in my book.
Easy walk to stores for supplies, Four Square has great chicken and fries. Fish and chips next door and a liquor store just round the corner. Couldn’t ask for more and price was cheap.
Maybe needs some up dating but it served its purpose and I’d definitely use them again.

Need net curtains for additional privacy as the balcony is a shared walkway and not all the lights were working.
The place is very convenient to town and beach. Discounts at reception is great too. We enjoyed our stay and will booked with them again.

Quick business trip
All staff really friendly & helpful. Room very spacious. Due to no powerpoints in bathroom, a mirror in the bedroom/living area would be good.
