Walking distance to Echo Point

Stayed there twice and will come back. But a toaster and a bigger fridge would be great.

Very well organized and easy check-in instructions as well as an easy access to parking. Hotel/Motel is walking distance to most tourists' attractions and restaurants is a plus.

We stayed here with a family of four and absolutely LOVED it. The family room we had was huge, actually had enough room for a table we could all sit around in the middle of the room. Bathroom and shower were great. Loved the touch less service, made it feel like our own place. The best thing though was the amazing location within a short walk to Echo point and the amazing cliff top trails.

It's very old, bed sheets were very clean but toilet bowl was dirty. Behind the curtains there were spider webs and very dirty. It needs a very good deep clean around the windows seals and the bathroom. Fridge needs to be changed it was rusty. I guess that for what we paid we can't expect all of this stuff to be done

Loved: close to Echo Point & public transport, onsite parking, lovely staff, great price, microwave, opposite the Chocolate Factory Disliked: noisy a/c fans, iced up freezer box, dated interior and decor, sagging mattresses. Despite some areas that we weren't too happy with, the location trumps them all, so we woll visit again
