Whale Coast All Suite Hotel
Room clean, staff very friendly and helpful. Location very convenient- could safely walk everywhere in town. We did have a problem with our air conditioner, causing us to move to another room the next day, which was a bit inconvenient, but overall, a good experience. Can recommend this to families ...

Harbour Square Hotel
Preferred. Sea view considering the hotel was reasonably quiet it would have been nice to be upgraded. Reception gal was less than inviting and room was so small there was no place to open our bags.
