The staff were genuinely helpful . I had a room with a comfortable bed. I slept soundly each night. The cooked breakfast provided a GREAT start to each day. I also found the location convenient. It allowed easy access to local attractions.
I did notice some minor wear on furniture, yet it did not affect my stay.

adequate location, but issues in the room

well presented roomuncomfortable bednoisy aircon
the room was presented well, a plus.
I booked a king bed room with aircon, but it was not available. i ended up in a small, uncomfortable double bed with noisy aircon. dirty laundry and tissues from previous occupants were in the bathroom. It was all very noisy from the outside drinking area and seagulls. i left after one night.
