The price was right for what we needed. Nice that they had bikes for us to ride down to the harbour/warf. The room was big enough. A basic room though with nothing too fancy. Shower was a bit awkward to use for taller people. Pool was nice after a hot day.

What can I say its an OK stay. Not really close to anything. The restaurant was not open during my stay due to Aus day. Not what it was hyped up to be. Pool was ok and there was a spa. Maybe a good stay when not a public holiday. Staff were nice which is important.

we loved the pool. Nice, easy, convenient place to stay. Staff were happy and accommodating. It would have been a lot more comfortable if the separate bedroom had aircon ...it was very hot and stuffy with just a standing fan., window opened to the car park (no breeze). Air con was in main lounge with 2 single beds .. stayed mid January .

Although the room was clean, we thought is was extremely average & outdated in the decor for the price of $175 in a "budget" room for one night

It was ok. A bit dated, Bed comfortable but on the soft side. Pool ok but needs an upgrade. I booked as there is a restaurant onsite but on arrival I was told it was closed but would reopen the next day. It didn’t open the next day and hotel is not close to town centre. A bit frustrating. If you smoke get ready to feel like an outcast. Stand next to a fence, with no shelter or seating. The property needs a designated smoking area that is a little more respectful of people.
