Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Clean & tidy. Staff were courteous and helpful when I rang to request a foldaway bed as an extra for the room. Check in / Check out was fast and easy. Hotel was a good walkable distance to Esplanade Park, supermarket & Plaza mall. No update on webite/booking sites to indicate spa pool not available & swimming pool water was very milky & cloudy. You would not see a child at the bottom of the pool in that water. The water definitely needs attention, and we would have enjoyed swimming in a clean & clear water pool. Noticed there were no signs indicating the depth of the pool and the area is visible to anyone attending an appointment at the hairdressers which backs onto the pool area. Buffet breakfast was not an option, so we had to order our cooked food ... still paid the buffet price which was disappointing. Otherwise, it was a nice stay.

The room size was nice, but extremely out dated, bathroom smelt of mould, mould on celling and broken tiles in bathroom. When I arrived I asked to be moved because the room we were fist put in smelt so of mould I couldn’t imagine letting my young children sleep there without getting sick if I had more time to re book elsewhere and Christmas being so close there would have been no way I would have stayed there. Staff did move us thankfully. Personally won’t ever stay there again or would recommend. Actually very displeasing. I came to view the room about 3 months ago and was told by staff the room was being renovated, and couldn’t view. I told the staff members if I knew the state of the rooms there would be no way I would have booked to stay here in the first place. I called a week before my check in and was told we would be placed in a newly renovated room. However we went. Bad communication from your part. Like I said if we didn’t feel the pressure of Christmas and being worried we wouldn’t find a place with two kids I would have insisted on my money back.

Great place to stay, close enough to walk to town. Clean and comfy although a bit dated and old but they are renovating. Would recommend letting people know when booking that you are renovating so they are aware. Pool and spa were not available for use (unclean). Staff were friendly and helpful.

The whole point of booking here was so we could use the restaurant being a Monday and everything else would be closed. Because they had an outside group booked for the restaurant we were unable to get a meal. Very poor when the chef dictates who gets fed and who doesn’t
