Ken

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Staff were very helpful arranging for a very early morning taxi pickup from the intercity bus and paying for the dryer when I only had enough coins for the washing machine. Unfortunately, the restaurant is being renovated and the hotel is a considerable distance from the city centre so getting food/meals was a challenge. My room was comfortable with a frig and an electric kettle but there was no desk and updates are necessary for convenient use of modern electronics. The hotel is perfectly situated for watching Geraldton's amazing sunsets.

This is a lovely hotel situated just outside of Geraldton. All the staff members we spoke with were exceptional and even booked our taxi back to the bus station for us! The rooms are big, clean and comfortable and the hotel itself is located on a bus route which makes getting around convenient if you don't have a car!

Have stayed here a number of times over the last 6 months and have seen a number of improvements and investments being made, most recently including fencing around the site and a kids playground. The rooms I've stayed in have been renovated and are well presented. The team are friendly and the check-in is easy. It's a nicely located next to the beach, and convenient for me for my work travels and getting around town. Lots of parking and you can park right outside most rooms, without having to trudge through miles of hallways or wait for lifts to get to your room.
