Great to hear, Roderick! We appreciate you letting us know and we hope to welcome you back again soon!
Very nice hotel with a good restaurant attached called 10 Acres. I enjoyed my stay very much except the bed was a bit hard for my liking. Would stay there again though.

Hi Marcus - thank you for sharing your review of our property although I am sorry you found the bed a bit hard. Most of our guests love our beds, but to each their own! We are happy to provide a mattress topper for your next stay to help soften things up! Thanks again - see you soon (we hope)!
They didn’t have our reservation at check in but still found us a room and honoured the rate.

Hi Tenzin - I am sorry to see such a low rating from your stay back in February. We have no notes on your file stating you were unhappy at check out - are you able to provide any additional information about your stay? Thank you
Thank you Alan! We are so happy you had such a great stay and appreciate you taking the time to share your rating! Hope to welcome you back again soon! Take Care
Hi Shawn, I believe that you were a noshow for your reservation at our hotel, and having used a 3rd party booking platform to make your booking, were unable to cancel your reservation and have your cancellation fee waived. I am going by the name on the reservation and the dates your were booked - we had no other Shawn booked with us during that time. If there is another reason for the low rating, I would love to hear from you.
Thank you Cathy - we appreciate you taking the time to share your review! All the best for 2024!

Noisy furnace fan.
The furnace in our room created a piercing noise every time that the fan came on, about every 15 minutes and it would last for about 5 minutes. We were unable to get a good night sleep.

Hi Joe - I am really sorry to read about your experience. We would have been more than happy to solve this issue for you had we known about it during your stay - a quick call to front desk would have resolved the issue! I am sorry it disrupted your sleep and impacted your stay.
Great close location to shopping. Good Xmas vibe at night from Sydney. Sleepy town tho all shops close down by 5.

Hi Ronald! Thanks for taking the time to share your review. Most of the shops do close around 5 during the week but with so many restaurants, pubs, movie theater, etc...there is still lots to do! Thanks for staying with us!

A great two night stay and very quiet. Stores closed and asked at the front desk if they sold chocolate and was given a four pack for lovely chocolate mints. Super nice! Spa was also great!

This used to be a very nice hotel, but it is in a dire need of a big refresh. The furniture is beat up, the bath fixtures are cheap, the pillows are made of rubber, the mattress is 10 years old. The foyer looks like Motel 6.
But it is in a nice area, and the town is very pleasant.

Hi John - thank you for sharing your feedback. I can honestly say we have never been compared to a Motel 6 with our oceanfront views and beautiful amenities, but you are right, we are do for a refresh which is in the works and we are so excited to share it with our guests!
Hi Myriam - thank you for the wonderful 5 Star Review!!! We are so pleased you had a great stay and look forward to welcoming you again soon!

We had a great stay! The staff are very friendly and helpful. There are many places to shop just outside the hotel. The location on the water is excellent, especially for sunrises and sunsets. Highly recommended!
