Would not feel comfortable recommending this Hotel.
Pros:

Not great! overcooked scrambled egg, tough bacon
Not good value for the money.

Cons:

Rooms could have been cleaner. Skirting boards definitely need some attention. The ranch sliders to the deck also need attention particularly the bottom of doors.

Thank you, we will be back!
Pros:

Loved it, the staff were so nice! The room was exceptional and just so comfy, cozy and clean. looking out to the water from our balcony was stunning! We really enjoyed our stay and wish we had more than one night there, will most definitely be back!

Cons:

Temperature control was a little hard even without the heater on it could get really hot in there, We would crack the door open but then it would become quite loud. The elevator is a little freaky too.
