View to die for
FABULOUS location with a stunning view and a walk into the CBD. Loved the location and really enjoyed being across the road from the park and the sea.

2/10 Poor

Most dissapointed
Unfortunately the stay was absolutely terrible. We spent a grueling day on the road travelling, fatigued to the limit and needed to desperately rest. However, unruly kids made an incredible noise from 11pm onwards to early morning hours. We tried calling reception 3 different times but kept getting put through to voicemail. I went outside at one point and hollered for some quiet to no avail though. After a night of very little sleep our complaints the next morning was received with nonchalance and a fleeting comment of how everyone complained. Which made sense in hindsight not answering any of our calls and letting it go to voicemail. We found the stay and the demeanor of the staff unprofessional and most dissapointing for a hotel with what's supposed to have a more luxury-end reputation. Unfortunately and ultimately a reward wasted for us.

6/10 Good

Please invest in new bed sheets that fit!
Good central location and great view of seafront. Nice balcony, although enjoyment was marred by the smokers that surrounded us. Bed was terrible- uncomfortable and the sheet was far too small- it kept rucking up to expose the worn, bobbly mattress beneath. There was no mattress protector. Towel rail was broken. Rooms need maintenance and beds need some new sheets! Friendly and welcoming check in, parking is tight. Nice big TV and strong shower.

4/10 Fair

Unfortunately the rooms are a bit tired looking. I had a room on the ground floor which was terribly noisy. I’m not sure the windows on the bifolds are double glazed so every vehicle that drove past was very loud. For this reason, I wouldn’t chose to stay here again :(

Lovely views, It was noisey due to road traffic in front of building, there was a few carpet stains and the wallpaper is looking a bit tired. The windows could do with a clean to admire your view. The room was spacious.
