Pros:

Location is excellent. My daughter loves the strand and it right across the road. Plenty of parking. Having the availability to book a room that had a separate bedroom to the living room was definitely easier to get my daughter to sleep. The bed was comfortable and so was the sofa bed

Cons:

Only slightly picky due to having allergies to dust. The aircon and air vent to the bedroom was full of dust so was the pedestal fan. Had to choose the fan as it was less dusty then the air vent. First night didn't have hot water to the shower for some reason. But was working for the second night
