We booked this hotel at the last minute through an online service (Kayak). After a long tiring day of cycling we checked in and crashed out in our room. The hotel was decent for a Holiday Inn. The rooms were large. The beds were comfortable. I'm not a fan of the pillow selection option, just because it seems like an added hassle to order new pillows when you're already tired, but it's a decent idea.
The view over the harbour was pleasant. It's a decent place to stay in a somewhat remote location.
The only real negative came with checkout. I was charged the regular rate for the room, even though I thought I'd already paid through the online service. I questioned the rate at the time but was told that this is what the system said. When I got home I called the online service, who confirmed that I had been double billed. They resolved the situation, and hopefully the money will be refunded to my card, but it's an added hassle that I shouldn't have to deal with.
