The Staff who greeted us were very polite and friendly and explained to us where we were to go. Our room!!! Well, that cost us an absolute bomb!! Over $350.00 for a passing parade of people right outside our window on the footpath!! There wasn’t even a block out blind or sheers, but only a complete darkness blind, which we shouldn’t have to use for any privacy! Instead, prior to our Dinner engagement, we waved to the entire passing parade of passer byes, on the footpath, who, in turn, obliged us with a wave too!! Rooms on the side street off the Esplanade? Ground floor? NO THANKS!!! Don’t recommend it!!

Great location but a little noisy for families.
Room was smaller than expected and first set of towels provided were not clean. Would strongly recommend that families stay in rooms away from the main hotel area as it was very noisy. The location of the hotel is great and staff are friendly but have had much better experiences when staying here previously.

Rebecca

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We had a budget room. It was small, musty and old. Drainage in the 1970’s bathroom was horrible, showering with water up to your ankles. You could hear everything on the street as well as in the above apartment. It was nothing like the photos, the room was more like a storeroom than a motel room. It was very disappointing.

The views were amazing. The location was excellent. If there was any negatives, it would be the noise on Saturday night - either from the hotel, or guests through the night.
