Recently stayed and was disappointed. Had an engagement up the road and thought I would stay close. Should had taken taxi back to Sydney CBD. Service ordinary and noise levels from band unacceptable. Band finished late on the Saturday night. More

Great friendly organised and helpful service. Room was new clean and neat. Plus Balcony. Great location. Standard continental breakfast but very Yummy hot breakfast. Definitely stay again. More

We read the reviews and thought we would give it a go even though some of the reviews were bad. We had a wedding to attend up the road and thought, why not. Well we were very disappointed for what we got for the $285 that we paid. Basic room with a sea view. We were there on a Saturday... More

We stayed on a Monday and Tuesday The room was tidy and clean, reception staff were really friendly and helpfull i would recomend paying the extra for a seaview room though, very handy location close to a coffee shop and grocery and petrol station, a walk across the street and you are at the beach.

Girls at front desk were very helpful when they were there - seemed busy away doing other things. However, Room Service was excellent and the food from the bistro really nice. More

Stayed here for 6 nights and found the location great, managed to walk on the beach every morning, take a bus to the mall, around 20 minutes, walk 10 minutes to small shopping centre etc. Restaurant did great night meals, and very very basic breakfasts. Rooms were very nice, modern, clean and a decent size, however the beds are rock... More

I don't normally stay anywhere of my own choosing without first checking TripAdvisor but sometimes you have no choice and have to find somewhere in a hurry so you take a chance.
