The Margate property location is convenient in location to restaurants, bars, shopping, and the Cake Theatre. There is also prompt/ reliable taxi service (Casey's) available. What is unique is that contained within the main Margate Resort is beach access and a restaurant on the beach. However, unknown to my self when booking this "Resort ", Margate has 2 properties, the main resort and a second "Inn" which is across the street . You check into the Main resort, given a map , and then you find out it's across the street. All of the amenities are still available to you, but you must walk across a busy street and then around the property to the back to access the beach front and restaurant. Unfortunately we never saw that part, I was having mobility issues and unable to walk (any) distance. Did I say they provided a map? Therefore I paid for beach access and services that I could not utilize or access. The room was ample size and very clean; yet again the amenities, for 2 people in a room, included a coffee maker that used pods, of which we received 2 reg and 2 decaf pods. Most people these days do not drink decaf, so that leaves 1 pod a piece of regular coffee. Oh and the cup size? Was 6 ounce (if that) and the covers were too big for the cup!! Then there was the refrigerator which was adequate size ( bigger than a mini) but no freezer section ( which i needed to put ice packs), the refrigerator must have been dying because it kept making this loud noise all night!

We actually really liked this place. It would be great for families as they have a sandy beach with lounge chairs. There is also an outside bar you can order food and drinks. The common areas are lovely as well. The rooms were slightly dated and the beds we slept in seemed as though they should have been retired a few years ago. Nonetheless we would stay there again. I found the breakfast kitchen staff very unpleasant but front desk staff was great.

I was on business trip. Property was nice but geared to vacation / families. Service staff did their best but when questioned at the restaurant English became a barrier and server did not understand question regarding type of draft beer on tap when asked. Similar issue at breakfast. I would stay again but educating staff in customer facing roles to be able to communicate what is on site and where would be less frustrating to a customer trying to find his way around.
