This venue was a little tired. There was one usable pool. The deck was all chipped and not pretty. The rooms were fine; just outdated. The view was amazing, though, and made it worthwhile. The location was outside the busy area, but an easy walk, which was perfect. It looks like they are in the process of updating and soon will be more current.

Justin in the bar was great! A small table and chairs on the balcony would be nice to enjoy sitting outside the room

Convenient location, lot of off street parking, although surprised to find out on arrival it cost $20/night, room needed general maintenance - one of the light bulbs in bathroom blown; toilet wouldn’t flush properly. Unless you are from a very cold region take your trackies as room very cold even with aircon off in room.

Ordered room service very expensive burger that was burnt and even the chips were. Breakfast was better but a bit cold. The exterior of the whole place needs some maintenance. Also had trouble getting out of parking with the boom gate. Very frustrating.
