It was over priced for ehat we got. The TV is old and small and cannot connect to apps like Netflix etc. Had to make coffee in the bathroom which I think is not suitable for the price charged.

Love staying here, on the edge of the main street, making everything in walking distance - bar beaches. Opposite 1 of the best RSL's in Australia that I have been too as a bonus. Being a historical building has a better ambience then a generic modern hotel and the staff are great. There are stairs only to the 2nd level so if you cannot do stairs, let the hotel know before staying.
