room 43 had a dog smell
fridge smelled
aircon leaked water onto bed
dont stay in room 43
This is a cozy charming place. The apartment I had (#11) was facing the ocean and had a grass private lawn. The other units not facing the ocean do not have this. Included is a basic kitchenette.

The property was priced well and right on the Strand which is what attracted me.
The rooms are very dated and the walls are paper thin so cars coming and going and the next room's tv was quite annoying.
Definitely value for money but the rooms could do with a lift.

Liked: Cleanliness
Clean, basic accommodation, great for a stay with a pet. Walking distance to the restaurants/cafes and beach directly opposite as well as the free pool.
Good communication prior to stay. The room did not match the images of the room in the advertisement. It might be that some rooms have been updated and other rooms not.
The location fantastic
However the room did not depict what was advertised on the internet
Out dated in bad need of repair and needs painting bed saggy and pillows like pancakes blankets stained unpainted areas bare wood the curtains were mouldy and need replacing we did appreciate we could have our small dog with us however for the cost of the property it was overpriced The photos did not depict what we paid for
nice position to stay and very friendly and helpful staff.
room conditions are very run down and dated. bed was uncomfortable, old box aircon noisy, couldn't turn ceiling fan off, other guests packing cars and leaving at 0430 in the morning made sleeping in difficult.
rooms are twice the price of the condition.
I like it because it is accessible to the strand and the city and the beautiful vew.
It was simple and quiet and safe for family.
Thank you for your hospitality and service.
This is an old motel and the rooms have very few conveniences. Air-con was old box-in-wall type and very noisy and hardly worked. Bathroom had no vanity of places to put anything. only one bedside table. Would not stay here again.
