“HIGHLY RECOMMEND”
Gorgeous vintage motel, beautiful decor( the inside of the ift is completely covered in a gorgeous flamingo motif) and large windows looking down into the bar and courtyard from the hallway and our room! Parking is only 2mins walk away which Lucky validate for cheaper parking and access allowing you to come and go as you please without additional parking charges. There is a pub and restaurant downstairs if you feel so inclined however we found the drinks at the pub extremely expensive compared to other pubs we go to so we didnt try the restaurant. We will definitely stay again when we come down next. Highly recommend.

“Lovely lively, clean hotel.”
The location was great, the rooms were lovely, and the staff so helpful. The bar and restaurant are very popular and had a great atmosphere. It was easy to buy a drink and then order dinner which was brought up to our room with no complaint even on a busy night. Overall a great place to stay.

A bit noisier than we would have liked. Bands playing until late. Wish we were more aware of the late night entertainment. Also air conditioning was not working and rooms were extremely hot. Some compensation was offered but wish we knew first.
