Was okay, but would have preferred air con rather than a fan heater. It was the first place we had a microwave, which was great, however the shower took a while to drain, which meant the floor got wetter than we like.

Good location. Unit looked a bit tired, needed a spruce up. The bed sides had no firmness so when you were near the edge you ran the risk of rolling out. No allocated parking spaces for each unit.

Rock hard beds and paper thin walls. Even with a car it's a 15 minute drive to anything worth seeing. Close to lots of beach access and clean.

Good last minute stay. Staff very helpful. Only negative was that the listing said there was a king bed but really only had 2 twins that could be pushed together. Staff offered to push beds together but we declined.

This is a smaller property and our room was a loft-style with the bed upstairs. Parking is limited and pretty crowded when all rooms are booked. Otherwise the room was quiet and we had a good night sleep. I am taking one star off because there is neither A/C nor heating in the room, except for a plug-in heater hidden in one of the closets, and the room gets pretty warm.

Upstairs bedroom with a downstairs bathroom was inconvenient. The entire place, especially upstairs, was hot until the later evening because there was no air conditioning. We would not stay there again.
