We have just spent 3 nights over Christmas with our family. Our room had a strong odour of urine. We informed the owner and he was rude, told us to open the windows and doors. With them open it was noisy. Fish factory next door had an alarm going for the whole time we were there. And the noise from the bar attached to the hotel was loud. But the noise was better than the horrific smell of urine with the room shut up. I would not advise anyone to stay here.

The refurbishments that have been undertaken make for a pleasant environment to stay in. The team were friendly and location spot on. We had three bedroom apartment and it was perfect for a family of 5-6 people. Will definitely be back. It presented good value for money at just over $310 a night.

I liked that it was close to the waterfront and great restaurants. We had issues with noise however. There are lots of signs around promoting being considerate of guests around being quiet. However our room although lovely it was 2 units away from the hotel's restaurant and bar area which was actually very noisy and impacted on our second night's stay. Wouldn't want to spend another Saturday night due to this.

Overall it was a nice stay
The room was nice but the bathroom needs a little spruce up as its looking a little tired. It was clean which was the main thing. The beds were very comfortable & the receptionist at check in was very nice & friendly. My card was charged for items we didn't use so I rang up and the lovely lady on the phone said they'll reverse which was she did.

There is quite a lot of noise in the location, particularly on Friday and Saturday nights. Many cars driving past and people making noise late into the night. It can be quite disturbing when you’re trying to sleep.
