No hot water

After a 13 hour drive and arriving late after 8pm and having a late dinner, it wasn't till after 10pm that we discovered there was no hot water and no one around to raise the alarm,didn't notify reception till following morning. Response was "we will let maintenance department know" after pressing the issue, was offered a $50 refund that never eventuated.

Big room with updated on suite. Looking out over disused roof space for below hotel/pub facilities but better this way as no noise to speak of if you were positioned overlooking the main road out front. Very clean. Good comfortable queen bed. Only a short walk to the main beach and great breakfast at the local surf lifesaving club at the main beach. No hotel parking but plenty of angled parking across the road. Police station next door so I would not expect drunken behaviour during the night.
