The hotel is in a good location 15 min walk to the foreshore. The beds are comfortable if you like a soft bed. This is a hotel for a basic 1 or 2 night stay. There is no smart TV. The bathroom is small particularly if more than 1 person staying in the room. The parking is disappointing. It is outdoor parking not secure and should be Free! It is expensive for outside car park and if you dont leave by 12pm you will be slugged with a $5 fee Plus $ 5 for every hour or part of beyond 12pm. The reception staff told me we could stay until 1pm before the fees kick in maybe the staff need to check up on the policy before giving info to guests. If you need a convenient hotel for a couple of nights it will do the job

Nice hotel, clean and comfortable room. Just a shame we had people ‘Nick knocking’ at our door at different hours of the night which disturbed our sleep.
