Family accommodations in Shell Cove

We stayed here as a family of four for 2 nights. The location is absolutely fantastic—right across the road from the beach! The rooms were surprisingly spacious and very clean, which we appreciated. However, the hotel itself is quite old and run down. For instance, the rooms are still using old TV screens rather than smart TVs (E.g no Netflix or Disney+ etc) and remote buttons were old and hard to press. They have also transitioned to an eco-friendly model to reduce single-use items, which is great in theory, but everything else feels like an extra fee. We had to pay extra for Wi-Fi, and parking was quite expensive at $78 for the two nights (it feels like this should really be discounted for staying guests). Overall, it was a pleasant stay because of the space and location, but it definitely needs some modernizing to match the price tag.

There was no one available for our check in at 1330. We had to wait. There was no cleaning equipment in the room so we couldn't do any basic house work. There was no where to walk in the park as there were restricted signs around all the accommodation some of which appeared to be permanent. The smart TV control did not work all the time and the TV kept freezing up. The TV setup and time was completely out of synch. The air-conditioning system kept rattling all night disturbing our sleep. There was continual banging from other rooms nearby possibly maintenance or other residents. Other than that it was great.

Stayed for 2 nights. Friendly, quick and easy check in. Hotel is in a great location - easy walking distance to the beach and also into the city center. Room was a good size, well appointed and clean. Would definitely stay again.
