Pros:

The location was really good for us, eateries within walking distance and the beach was less than ten minutes by car. The beds were really comfortable and the pillows were actually good. A TV in each adjoining room was convenient. The complimentary water bottles were helpful. The water temperature and pressure was great.

Cons:

Wasn't soundproofed to the extent you couldn't hear patrons at the bar. We found a meal in the mini-fridge. from the previous guest. We didn't have a good view from the windows and the two single beds on wheels though comfortable, couldn't be locked in place.

Cons:

Staff a bit slow to appear at reception, no tissues and a bit more effort to decorate the room would make a big difference.
