9/10 Wonderful! (449 reviews)
The whole place could do with a complete renovation. Paper thin walls. I could hear the next room toilet being flushed. Booked a deluxe queen room and expecting a queen bed, but only had a double with a very noisy mattress when you moved. Pillow problems also. I will have to find different accommodation in this town next time I travel through.

Got a coffee from the kiosk near the Ocean Baths and sat looking out over the baths and the ocean. The breeze made it a lovely place to be on an overcast and humid Sunday morning
