Inconvenient entry way. Hotel situated on busy street with original entryway made into a small cafe space that is quite dreary. Parking around the corner through a street small enough to be an alley way for drunks to relieve themselves. Window air conditioning easier to work than at fancier properties. The room was fine. Clean. Hooks in bathroom doors and one grab bar on shower door. Helpful staff. Easy access to Stanley beach.

DO NOT BOOK- SEVERE RODENT INFESTATION
I booked two rooms for two nights and both of our rooms were infested with mice. We could hear screams on and off along our corridor throughout our entire stay so it’s safe to say they weren’t just present in our two rooms! We were told by Sheldon on reception that we would receive a 50% discount on our booking but hotels.com are now saying that we are not eligible for a refund. Hotels.com, please advise why you are allowing bookings at this hotel when you know the extent of the problem as there are ongoing reviews with the same issue dating back to 2021.
