Nightmare Check-In: ​ ​No Staff: There was absolutely no check-in staff available after 5:00 PM. ​Security Risk: The key was supposedly left "under the mat," but it had already been taken by someone else. This is a major safety concern. ​Zero Support: There is no phone or chat support available at night. I was left stranded until they finally responded the next morning. ​Suggestion for Management: Stop leaving keys under mats. At the very least, you should use a secure lockbox with a code.

Great location

This hotel offers great location. 100m to great beach and a 2 minute walk in to Main Street all with the convenience of onsite parking. Room was a good size with all the normal appliances expected. On site pool was nice with bbq if required. I really liked the look of the outside of the hotel which was of a manor style. Would highly recommend this property.
