Stayed at this property 8th April 2013. Customer service was great and we were made very welcome as well as being offered a room on a high level for the view. Rooms were clean, modern and well appointed and the bed was comfortable. I cannot fault this property and highly recommend it to anyone.

Clean and Tidy...every time! Parking could be better, but good that street parking is free. A Gluten Free/Soy Milk Option for Breakfast would make this place... More

Recently stayed here for one night on business, the place is nicely located on the esplanade but noisy at night due to hooning up and down all night. Room was small and outdated but pretty clean. Shower was over the bath. Be warned parking is limited and had to park on the street.
