What amazing facilities. The communal area had a table tennis table, table football, pool table, air hockey, electronic game, large screen TV, seating area and access to a full kitchen. So much more than a room to stay in. Everyone was friendly and I will be staying again.

Very nice stay at Ashbys
Nice location near many restaurants but pretty quiet. Easy walk to beaches. Fairly big room with comfortable bed and sofa bed. Nice common area with billiards, air hockey, foosball, and video game console. The spa area seemed nice but was a tad too pricey for family use.
