Comfy one night stay

Check in was messy but got sorted and an extra fee drink in the bar soothed the minor frustration. Staff were friendly. Room was big and comfy. Parking was limited so get in quick and finding the place was odd as it's set back off the road. Bistro meal was very good value though having my main arrive when I'd barely started my entree seemed odd. A busy but vibrant pub - it was Father's Day. Central and near shops and the manager had good advice about things to do.

Very beautiful and comfortable room. Although it's next to the pub it's still quiet enough to get some good sleep. Very close to shops and transport too.

Great room. Great meal. Convenient location.
Peter, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

No dedicated parking so can be difficult at busy times due to carpark being shared with adjacent retail. Convenient with our without a car. Major shopping centre nearby with cinemas and a ferry service to Sea Life
Steven, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not bad for one night, room was comfortable and convenient for our stay. Staff lovely and helpful, attached to a pub so a little bit of noise but we knew this on booking so wasn’t an issue. Would recommend a stay for a quick/convenient option.

Close to amenities and good food and bar in walking distance but rooms backed onto a boat repair hardstand area, pool was old and not clean so did not use.

Everything
Kylie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

No complaints about the staff.. all friendly. However the house maids ,although friendly, managed to throw out some personal items. If you score a room closest to the pub area, it can be very noisy, even with your balcony door shut. And the constant slamming of the gate near the main reception area is very annoying. The pool only gets cleaned somewhat just once a week. The food at the restaurant was dry and overcooked.
Tania, 6-night trip

room was a good size and the patio outback was great..very close to shops and central so was a great location
