It's an older style gem, affordable, clean, comfortable, off street parking and close to cafe's and the waterfront. The proprietor was friendly and hospitable. We had a nice stay. Thanks

The room was available when we arrived early. Beds were comfortable. But the property was dated & tired. Cabinetry in the room was chipped, the toilet was yellowed with age, the shower caddy was rusty the curtains were mouldy. The room was twice what it should have cost for it’s condition - but it was available.

The location is great for us, been there many times in the last 15 years!! It is very declining!! Management is getting very tired and for the price we paid probably won’t recommend it!!! Air con didn’t work and very loud neighbours not addressed plus cleanliness to be desired!!!

Very outdated and poor maintenance . Every tap had to be turned off extra tight to stop it from dripping .The grout in the shower needed fixing . The cupboards were so old that I didn’t even hang clothes in there because of the smell. The room was not clean, very thick layer of dust on the bedside shelves on the back of the tv, on table legs and ceiling fan. You had to get up on a chair just to turn the ceiling fan on . Fly screens had large holes in them . As for free wifi … it was only good if you were outside , inside the room it would keep disconnecting or not even connect at all. No dinnerware other than coffee cups, one teaspoon and one saucer . I could go on but just fair to say I won’t return.

Air conditioner in the room was noisy kept us awake all night. No plates or cutlery to have toast. Bar fridge was to close to the bed we couldn’t even open the door to put anything in yet due to being to close.

Too expensive for what you get. The place needs a lot of TLC. My son got sick on the day of the trip and the management was not flexible. They could have offered for a credit if they cannot refund.
