No reception upon arrival at 4.30 pm. Chemical smell overpowering. No screen door to leave the door open.
Stains all over carpet.
Lounge looks like it's been rescued from the garbage tip ripped everywhere.. I have pictures to prove it. Very noisy as we have to jam chair behind door to let in fresh air as we could not stand stench. No sea view at all as promised. Definitely not a good place to stay. But maybe they should get English speaking people to answer the phone as we had to repeat ourselves many times over stay somewhere else.

We have been coming here for years. New managers and price increase of $40 per night. We will be finding a new hotel after this stay. Can't justify a $40 a night price rise

Older Style hotel, but the rooms are on the larger side, clean and tidy. Comfortable bed and pillows. Secure carpark. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great location.
