Location was excellent. Property was rather dated but had everything we needed. Staff changed our room to a ground-floor room without a problem. Recommend as a convenient stopover.

Very friendly staff. Close to cafes, restaurants & waterfront (within walking distance). Room clean and tidy, a bit dated, but served it purpose. Beds were comfortable and good water pressure in shower - unfortunately jets weren't working in the hot tub. Overall a good stay.
