Can’t wait to return
Wonderful stay at a family friendly hotel. Great location near the shops and restaurants at Honeysuckle precinct. Lovely walk along Harbour foreshore. We self parked in car park across the road - was a small outdoor car park but we’re plenty of parks available at the time. Kids absolutely loved the pool and water slide. We received a room upgrade and were allowed to check in early - staff were super friendly and accommodating- can’t wait to go back!

Clean and nice, limited room quality.
Decent hotel but the rooms are limited. The Queen bed wasn't a proper base, it was two singles pulled together. The pull out bed was also fairly poor quality. The shower is very small and located in the bath. No show stoppers, it's clean and nice but for the money you might do better.

8/10 Very Good

Large room with water views. Very quiet area and close to restaurants. No microwave or cutlery provided. Parking was expensive at $35/night and the only option is valet - which was a fast and efficient service when we needed to access the car. There is a free car park within walking distance, however, this did not look like a safe area to leave a car overnight.
