It was near the well-maintained and sandy beach for gentle walks and views across the Firth of Clyde to the Isle of Arran. Moreover, guests could easily reach town centre amenities and attractions on foot. In the surrounding area, there were many golf courses plus a racecourse. It was also within striking distance of Prestwick airport, Glasgow and regional ferry terminals.

Light sleepers sometimes noted that blinds in certain rooms did little to exclude the glow of nearby streetlamps. A few critics reported cleanliness issues including build-ups of dust, mould, pet hair and inadequately cleaned bathrooms.

Guests welcomed the free Wi-Fi service. However, the signal reportedly struggled to reach some of the rooms and was strongest on the ground floor.

As there wasn't a private car park, motorists could obtain permits from the owners for on-street parking nearby. Nevertheless, drivers observed that it was sometimes tricky to park nearby during peak periods.
