Hi SueThanks for your feedback. Unfortunately the music is totally out of our control as it in not from our site or next door. Would have been good to have been advised when you were staying here so I could have addressed it with Zane Grey / The Dock Restuarant. Our apologies.

We were really impressed with the unit. Spotless and up to date. I confess, being a clean freak, I tried to find some dust and couldn't. We really couldn't fault it. Comfortable bed, everything you need in the kitchen. The view was amazing, and it was an easy walk to bars and restaurants. 10/10.

Very clean and recently refurbished I would say. Excellent bed, comfy couches, adequate cups, glasses, cutlery etc. Lucky to park right outside my room as some carparks are not adjacent to rooms. I would definitely stay here again amd recommend it to tohers.
