Very nice hotel, and upgraded my room to a Presidential room, which is superb. The restaurant is great too, those Blame dishes are cooked in front of you, which is a great experience. Their staff are friendly, too.

This is a very nice hotel. They upgraded us to a much bigger room - nice surprise. The pool was warm and the pool spa super warm in a good way. Sometimes parking was full, but we were able to park on the street. The Orangery is a lovely restaurant in a nearby hotel. Serving dinner till 10PM.

Flamingo Motel
Nice place, slightly dated but nothing to prevent an enjoyable stay. Car parks were spacious and easy to get in and out of. Pool looked good. A brand new trampoline was being put up when i was there. The guy managing the place was friendly and approachable.
