Fine for a night, but a bit too noisy for families
The rooms were adequate for our stay, but not great. While the hotel tried to accommodate our request for a room that was far from the pub, we ended up with a room directly above the smoking courtyard, complete with lots of yelling and swearing. The windows are SO THIN so at times it felt like the patrons were in our room, but with the door between the rooms closed, the kids were able to sleep in the front room with not too much trouble. It just meant us parents had no tv for the night as that was in the front room. I'm not sure if they closed the courtyard, but thankfully the noise died down at about half past 9. Pretty good, considering it was a Saturday night. The pub is family friendly, but I wouldn't recommend staying there if you have smaller kids. Probs best left to the kid-free crowds!

Great location but a little noisy for families.
Room was smaller than expected and first set of towels provided were not clean. Would strongly recommend that families stay in rooms away from the main hotel area as it was very noisy. The location of the hotel is great and staff are friendly but have had much better experiences when staying here previously.

2/10 Poor

We had a budget room. It was small, musty and old. Drainage in the 1970’s bathroom was horrible, showering with water up to your ankles. You could hear everything on the street as well as in the above apartment. It was nothing like the photos, the room was more like a storeroom than a motel room. It was very disappointing.

The views were amazing. The location was excellent. If there was any negatives, it would be the noise on Saturday night - either from the hotel, or guests through the night.

Lovely stay in a Queen Bay view room with spa bath. Very relaxing. Fabulous location, walking distance to the shops, over the road from the beach.
