Excellent. Would recommend to friends/family. Would definitely stay again.
Pros:

The location- perfect for where we wanted to be a short car ride to cavil ave, sea world and shopping centres.
The staff- check in was easy. Staff were friendly.
The room- clean and tidy, lots of space.

Cons:

The car parking shed space at the room was a little tight for big cars- mine is a Kia carnival but the manager helped me in the car space which was lovely.

Location and price
Pros:

At this price point and in this location, the Jadran was very good value. It was spotlessly clean, everything worked (except for poor wifi, but that's nothing new), easy walking distance to good cafes and restaurants, the beach on the broadwater and pretty parks. We travelled with our little (10kg) dog, and the Jadran provided sheets to cover furniture, a bed, rugs and bowls. Very accommodating . . .

Cons:

Wifi, but that's nothing new. Otherwise we got what we paid for and enjoyed the stay.
