Great location!
Just by the water with lots to see and do around the area. Breakfast was not so good, with no proper coffee and food options limited. Need to work on that for sure! The room was overall confortable for 1 night, bed was great and sofa bed not so good!

4/10 Fair

Sadly disappointed
From check in, toilet was dirty and full with …… They relocated us from Harbour to street room, so noisy. TV was terrible, no foxtel or able to login for streaming . Room service did not answer on the Saturday so we walked down for drinks and snack. Young girl was rude. We have been doing this weekend for 10 years, will now go to Noah’s

Property is very old. Room wasn’t cleaned properly. The price we paid for the room is way too much for we got. It is like a cheap motel. This building requires a renovation.
