Room is pleasingly decorated and newly renovated. Balcony with a view to the bay over the driveway/road. Staff easy to communicate with, location was great with easy access to the Esplanade and the coffee out front was perfect. A couple of drawbacks for us were the pillow top (saggy) mattress was very uncomfortable and the balcony had rubbish (smokers left over ashtray - yuck).

1 night family stay. Convenient, comfortable room. Good wifi/TV/beds. Especially impressed with the kitchenette and equipment. Unfortunately my sleep was disturbed by plumbing noises from around 3am. I would stay again, but would ask for another room.
