Staff were friendly every time we spoke, free tea, coffee & hot chocolate stuff in the reception also. Room looked great and was clean. Pool was open till late which was cool. Location wise, very close to the beach and not much of a walk to the down town area too. Was a last minute stop off in a road trip, me and my cousin were gutted we had too leave so soon. Was good for parking
