Clean, Comfortable, Great location
Our room was clean and had good amenities for a stay (fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, plates, cutlery). The pool was very clean. The service at check-in and checkout and during the stay was great. Located in a nice area with lovely beach, lots of dining options, 2 shopping centres nearby and the tram stop.

There was a lot of construction work around the hotel hence the noise and poor surrounding area. Other than these factors the hotel itself is aged and really needs external work to improve attractiveness and safety. Internally, the rooms are functional, simple and clean.

It was fine for the price and close to the beach and other attractions. It was just a very windy night when we were there, and the door and windows rattled all night.
