Fantastic Location and Great Value!

easy self-check-insecure door codesexcellent location
The hotel's location was super! It was just a short walk up the hill from the whale bones. The beach and town center were only about five minutes away. So convenient! We stayed in a lovely Large Double Room. Self-check-in was very easy, and I felt very secure with the door codes.
I noticed a couple of minor stains on the kitchen surfaces. Utensils felt just a tiny bit greasy.
