Pros:

The location was excellent. The room was basic but spacious and clean and had everything we needed. We only stayed one night as we attended a function nearby and really just slept and showered there. It was Saturday night which was noisy until 1.00 am but we were warned about the noise so it was expected. The staff were helpful and friendly. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the sheets and towels were very good.

Cons:

No complaints.

Great location, simple but has all that you need for a short stay
Pros:

Location! I had a wedding across the road so it was super convenient! Bed was comfy and room was very spacious. Also i was able to check in early and the staff were friendly!

Cons:

There were a lot of cobwebs (including spiders) around the windows which wasn’t very nice. You could tell the cleaning was only superficial - needs to be properly dusted and deep cleaned. Also the sink in the bathroom was tiny and not very practical.

The bed was comfortable

It was clean

Cons:

Most places supply snacks and drinks

Unfortunately the basin in the bathroom was narrow and you could hit your head whilst brushing your teeth under the shelving

Overpriced (long weekend rates) for the accomodation provided.
Pros:

Great location, basic accomodation, at its normal price $114-$135 per night it is good value, however at long weekend rates of $300 per night you are getting very basic and dated accomodation.

Cons:

No designated parking, you had to hope to get a car park in the hotel car park that was always full

As a senior couple we appreciated the central location and great value for money.
Pros:

Liked the no-frills, old-style, spacious rooms (number 3) with great views to the river, ocean and town. Number three is two bedrooms and a bathroom. No noise (stayed on a Sunday night).

Cons:

Nothing really.
