"Ok, so, it’s in a convenient location for the beach, restaurants, bars. The hotel staff were very nice. The room itself was clean but it’s a little dated and could do with an upgrade. It’s noisy at night as it’s so close to the bars etc. There are only 8 or 9 parking spaces so if you get back later it’s street parking. One night we had to park half a mile down the road. "
