"Great location, friendly staff and very well maintained hotel."

"Drunk noisy next door neighbor. Construction was less noisy. Breakfast fair was poor. No hot water for tea. "

"Stayed here plenty of times, first time reviewing. Wife works every Thursday so sometimes we extend our stay into Friday. Love this place as you can walk to Main Beach in a few mins. Pool was kinda cold for my toddler but hot tub was nice. Better than the place next door. Rooms and parking are always great. I think they upgraded us to a room with separated rooms, which was nice with mother-in-law and a kid. Will stay again. "

"Horrible experience. My mistake for going off of the good reviews that obviously pop up first when looking for rooms. I went through all before my stay and realized I made a huge mistake booking this place! Stains on ‘clean towels,’ noticed some stains on the bedding smell like if someone had been smoking in there even though we booked a ‘non smoking room’ Bathroom wasn’t even fully clean what looks like mold possibly in the bathroom or just dirty! Plus, the door handle to get into my room itself was a little off as all of the other rooms doors had a cover over the key hole since the room opens with the card key. Just looked suspicious to me, especially traveling as a single parent with kids. Bathtub wouldn’t drain, had to wait 10 mins in between showers to drain! As soon as we walked into the room there was a musty smell + cigarette smell. perfect reminder for myself to ALWAYS check the reviews!"

"Free parking outside the room. Room was kinda crowded, not too big. Clean and nice staff. It was rainy so we didn't use the pool or hot tub but others were. Breakfast was OK with great coffee. "
