Loved the convenience for a nearby function we were attending. Receptionist was super friendly and informative. The room was comfortable and perfect for our short stay. Rooms are above the restaurant and bar and slightly noisy with people coming and going but very quiet once the venues closed for the night.

Great area and we liked the easy access to the waterfront plus food options. BUT this property needs a whole lot of love to come up to higher standard. Especially a good spring clean, attention to aircon and some general updating overall for the accommodation. Alas, not a place we'll stay at again.

The dining area was nice but the hotel is very run down and needs a lot of work. The rooms were okay but the overall feel was that the place needs some serious money spent on it. We stayed there for convenience to an event we were attending. The location was good.
