Didn’t like having to wait an hour for a room . Requested Accessibility room and ended up getting a regular room because they didnt know how long we were going to have to wait for a room. Couldn’t take a shower as we couldn’t get in the tub.

    The staff were exceptionally helpful - incredibly good to deal with and we really appreciated the ‘Welcome’ gift and suggestions of places to eat which we loved! The apartment/studio was incredibly well designed - gorgeous bathroom and all the fixtures and fittings were of top quality. We absolutely loved it!

    Gorgeous property with period features. Really felt we were in a film set. The breakfast also very tasty and freshly served. Great staff and had lots of great chat in the mornings. The room was simply stunning (we had room 5) - spacious, clean and so pretty. Perfect location for downtown exploring, and easy to get out to the beaches if you have a car.
