Room was small, beds poor and price was ok
Pros:

Breakfast was not included and we didn't have. Location was ok.

Cons:

Single beds for kids are ok, but was too small for me. My feel were outside of the bed and I didn't have good sleep.

Pros:

Easy check in, friendly staff and great location.

Cons:

Unfortunately came across a white tail spider in our room and had a lot of ants, had to ask for some fly spray. And just a few minor cleanliness things, but im also very pedantic.

A nice stop off
Pros:

We like this place, great location & parking. Close to a beautiful walkway & really good cafe by the water. Also a short drive from the town. The bed was very comfortable and the towels were great. We've stayed before in an upstairs studio & it was ideal.

Cons:

There were a number of rooms being renovated and I think that the one we were in will definitely be one of the next ones as it felt like it needed it. It was a downstairs one & not as nice as the upstairs one we had last time. The toilet seat needed replacing.
