4-star price, 2-star stay

For the price, this hotel was a disappointment. The pool and hot tub were small. The room was small and unimpressive. It's a somewhat elevated 2-star motel with a 4-star hotel price.

HORRIBLE Beds!!!!

everything was great except the bed was the most uncomfortable bed EVER!!! its been over a week now and Im still in pain from sleeping on it. also I mentioned I was a wheelchair user. there werent any accessible rooms, so I grabbed a regular one. my chair wouldnt fit thru the door. ONE parking spot left and I could hardly get out of my car and couldnt use my wheelchair to get around the car to get to my room. which was upstairs, thankfully there is an elevator. I really want to love this hotel, but this is the 2nd time Ive had parking problems AND bed issues. the hot tub was glorious tho.

Brilliant hotel in walking distance of the town, restaurants, shops and wharf. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious, with plenty to choose between. The room was spacious, well appointed and comfortable.

The staff was wonderful. The location is just perfect. I was surprise of the loud noise of motorcycles passing by. In all honesty, the room was not comfortable. As soon we walked into the room, it smelled liked dirty socks, the shower had an annoying drip and you can hear it all night. Lastly, the bed wasn't comfortable at all, also, we never had housekeeping service our room.
