Lovely spot, nice bright interior. Helpful staff. Very clean.
Pros:

I loved the blue accents on the walls, cupboards etc. It made it feel like a real holiday by the water even without water views. Staff very attentive and helpful. It felt like an oasis.

Cons:

I would have loved facilities to wash my clothes.

Basic small rooms. Would have appreciated more amenities as we were on holidays.
Pros:

Walking distance to the Esplanade and centrally located. Good air conditioning and working well.

Cons:

Very disappointed that there was only 2 carparks for guests and this was NOT mentioned on their booking page. Guests were told to park in the street. Room rate was given but no mention that when the Marathon was on that the room rate increased by nearly $100 per night and only found this out after we had left and was charged. Only very basic amenities. A biscuit would have been appreciated. Fridge not working properly.

Good location, uncomfortable beds, mouldy toothbrushes & average breakfast
Pros:

Location was good, short walk to the boardwalk

Cons:

Beds were short and would very loudly creak when you moved in them. I was offered a toothbrush as had forgotten mine and when opened was covered in red & green mould. Breakfast was average for the price
