Can’t wait to return
Wonderful stay at a family friendly hotel. Great location near the shops and restaurants at Honeysuckle precinct. Lovely walk along Harbour foreshore. We self parked in car park across the road - was a small outdoor car park but we’re plenty of parks available at the time. Kids absolutely loved the pool and water slide. We received a room upgrade and were allowed to check in early - staff were super friendly and accommodating- can’t wait to go back!

Our room was only cleaned on our last day even though we asked everyday. And we didn’t get the $10voucher for not having it done. This was very disappointing.

Clean and nice, limited room quality.
Decent hotel but the rooms are limited. The Queen bed wasn't a proper base, it was two singles pulled together. The pull out bed was also fairly poor quality. The shower is very small and located in the bath. No show stoppers, it's clean and nice but for the money you might do better.

Great position on the harbour with extensive boardwalk in either direction. Very nice room although a bit dated but everything worked well. Cafe a little overpriced but only ate there once. Parking is off site so not most convenient. Staff friendly
