Liked staff attitude and service. Did not like Room 27 which faced out to hotel's skip bins (rubbish etc). Glass bottle noise at night after c ;losing hotel bar and restaurants etc. Noise very early one morning from skip' emptied of bottles then at day-break around 6am noise from seagulls ripping into the plastic bags of waste in rubbish skip. Also a few minor things not working in Room 27 ...bedside lamp, shuttle blind in bathroom stuck on 'closed'. Have stayed here before and acknowledge that some of these issues are due to age of the property.

The aircon did not work, the rooms were not well cleaned with dirt and leaves on the carpet. The carpet was full of stains and the rooms were dusty. The pool was being refurbished, which was not clearly communicated prior to our arrival. Overall a disappointing experience and one that we won’t be repeating.

Our room was dirty with dust on arrival. Our little boy also found a used mask under the bed when looking for a toy that went under it. It also wasn't serviced properly every day, i.e no toilet paper or new towels one day then no sugar or coffees the next. The shower was also hard to use as didn't have a proper shower mixer on it. The pool was also not keeped clean and was getting greener every day

CONVENIENT LOCATION

This hotel is a convenient stopover for me on my way north as it has easy access to and from State Highway 1.It has a good range of dining options virtually on the same premise. Interior is looking a bit dated and good do with a refresh but otherwise very comfortable.
