The young french girl on the front desk was exceptional - the room was okay - bed comfortable - shower over bath a bit awkward and slippery - water took a long time to warm - parking okay - pub next door excellent. About 30 minute walk to cbd

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Great place at a reasonable price. It’s a bit outdated cosmetically but the bed was super comfy and the hotel clean. Staff were fabulous and friendly.
Amazing staff, Judy , Ann, Sebastian and Jan.
Jan was great at breakfast and dinner . Always smiling .
Both ladies at reception were helpful especially with fixing up a pick up for a tour .
Sebastian on nights was great . Made the best hot chocolate .
Everything about the property met our needs. Quiet room, professional staff, location, access to public busses, taxis and ubers. Close to amenities such as food, pub.
Good place! Clean, amazing staff, everythings good with the room! The pool was closed though due to maintenance and the gym was old / could do with an update. All other things are good though!
The best part of our stay was definitely the staff. From the check in (I believe her name was Anne) where we were treated with such kindness to the check out, when we thought we had until 11 (oops) and they so very kindly gave us a courtesy call at 10:30 to see if we were ready, and everything in between. We were given such great info about the area and they even saved us a $50 Uber ride to Trinity Beach by letting us know about the city bus that runs out there. Such great hospitality from management and staff!
