A little bit noisy due to the pub next door. And parking is hit and miss with the public parking in reserved spots(mostly an issue over the weekend). Overall lovely place, lovely location, clean and neat. Was a great venue to head to a conference nearby and also amenities were sufficient to work from the room.

Right in the middle of town! We were thinking it may be noisy all night but things quieted down quite early and did we ever enjoy our view and the fantastic town of Brunswick Heads. The hotel was in a perfect location and was one of our favourite stops on our holiday
