Venligt personale på hotellet, der tilbyder vaskemaskine og tørretumbler. Et problem med lyset i lejligheden, blev hurtigt løst via en elektriker. Lejligheden, der er veludstyre, ligger tæt på strand og flere parker. Støj fra nærliggende hovedvej.

The shower had mold in it, place was not very clean. The owners tried to take money out of my account for a bond without confronting me first and then told us we had to leave when we didnt do anything wrong and there was no damage to the property at all. The staff were very rude and made us feel so unwelcome. We weren’t allowed to cook any food without the staff coming in and telling us off then kicking us out while we were sleeping and someone was getting changed while he walked in, there was no knock on the door just walked in.

The customer service was wonderful. We found the unit very cold when we first arrived. It took a couple hours for it to heat up. Also the wifi was not very good at all.

Great price option, liked having 2 double beds in dividable space. Bathroom was very small - but did the job Quite a bit of road noise could be heard throughout the night given proximity to StateHighway1

Great for a couple or family members but one negative being the toilet/shower and basin are all accessed off of the rear twin single bedroom which could be difficult depending on the realtionship of the respective guests?
