10/10 Excellent
"Had a really nice stay at Zanzibar Locke with a friend. We booked a twin studio and it worked out great. The beds were a bit close together, but it didn't end up being a problem. The living area was comfortable and allowed us to spread out. The bathroom was great with an actual privacy door, unlike many hotels these days. The location was very convenient as well. We had a car for a couple days and it was very easy to park at the nearby Jervis car park,"
