10/10 Exceptional

This was a lovely hotel that we returned to multiple times on our trip and each time the rooms were excellent. The staff of this hotel is also incredibly friendly and helpful. We really felt taken care of and the location would be hard to beat. Breakfast is also delicious and included. You’re about 1 block from the ocean and you can see Lion’s Head from the hotel. You’re also about one block from an area with tons of restaurants. Would stay here again.

Had a lovely experience at the hotel. Everything was perfect but what really stood out for me was the professionalism and friendliness of literally all the staff. From the courteous reception staff, the ladies at the other desk who where very kind and patient in helping me with suitable tours to book, the cleaners who were always very polite and friendly and the staff at the outdoor areas who where just exceptional as this is where I spent most of my time at the hotel.
