Matt was the most welcoming and helpful host. The Ocean Mist was so unique to stay in and was extremely well maintained. We enjoyed settling in with a drink on the upper deck. The night host Danny couldn't do enough to ensure we had an extremely early breakfast before our flight. Highly recommended.

One of the coolest hotels we've ever stayed in. The room was lovely and big, the staff were amazing and the breakfast was wonderful (lots of calories though 😄). Surprisingly, the hotel itself (rooms & lounge) was very quiet although the restaurant and bar were always hectic with lots of happy people🍺. Great stay overall!

Everything was great. Would definitely choose this property over others: it's clean, modern, functional, In a quiet st... etc My only suggestion is....Something to block the doors open as it is a bit annoying to not be able to keep the door open between the bathroom area and the bedroom
