Definitely okay for a budget friendly place:
Pros:
- shower is hot
- there was a fridge in my room however it was hidden in a cupboard so i didn’t realise for a day
- comfy bed
- good air conditioning on both coolness and warmth
- internet has good connection
- convenient for beach access and many bars/cafes in walking distance
Cons:
- no parking, most areas close by are packed if free or you have to pay for
- lack of utensils, we had one singular spoon, no knives or forks, also only one appliance which was a kettle
- fridge can be considered small
Love hotels like this. The property was stately and quaint. Not for the snobs but so practical and the location is fantastic. Great value, we are looking forward to our next stay.
Loved our huge room with wrap around veranda. Bed was comfortable, room was stocked with plenty of coffee, and the food at the pub was excellent. We could walk to the beach and other restaurants all very close.

Bed was terrible in room 12. You could feel the springs and the comforter on the bed was just a thin flat blanket between two sheets. The room didn't have a window but the bathroom did. However it wouldn't open so the room was very stuffy.
We also got given 1 ply towels that where super scratchy and tiny.
The highlight however is the bathroom. The bath and shower where lovely. The staff at the bar are also super friendly.
Had a really weird cuck chair that's seen some things. Gave us a good laugh.
The accommodation is ok for an overnight stay the hotel hallways are peeling & the room was very dusty.
