The office staff were very helpful and improved my stay. On the other hand the studio room I stayed in seemed slightly dated and the kitchenette, with no sink, left a lot to be desired.

Staff were very helpful and accommodating and changed our room to a ground floor when checking in. Love the area close to eating places and the beach. Room was not huge but only there for one night so served its purposes. Clean and comfortable would definitely stay again.
