I loved the location, dining options, comfortable bed, view, complimentary items in the minibar, and the free drink and meal discount at the bistro downstairs. The only downside was the number of stairs to walk up in the accommodation.

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 location - across the road from the beach. Neat and tidy accommodation for a 2-night stay to attend a wedding. Dinner at the pub downstairs was excellent. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

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.

Karen

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Location was great, just across from the beach, but that is about it as far as positives. Sheets were clean, but room itself and the bathroom were very grotty. We decided to use the complimentary drink voucher downstairs at the hotel, thinking that may be a better space than the room. It was filthy. Food scraps from tables over the floor, tables left uncleared with dirty dishes. I really wish I could say something more positive, but the whole place felt like it needed a deep clean and a total overhaul . . I thought / hoped that maybe we caught them on a bad day, but after reading a few reviews (my fault, something I should have done beforehand) it appears not. Sorry guys, but it was just yuck.
