8/10 Very good

The room was clean, with a big double balcony overlooking the esplanade. The bed was comfy and housekeeping were attentive. The staff were friendly and helpful and the pool was well maintained - small but ideal for cooling off after a long day exploring the area. Kitchen facilities were as advertised, no cooker but a microwave and full size fridge. Muddys cafe over the road is ideal for a coffee, breakfast or evening bite.

This is an excellent location. Minutes from the marina, aquarium (well worth the visit) and shopping. There are a lot of great upgrades and this is very clean. The staff was ultra friendly and could not have been more accommodating. This is truly a mom and pop 5 star hotel, and make sure you engage with Peter. You will feel the pride and caring he has in his hotel.

Balcony good but trip hazard going out room big step from room doorway. Cup rings on bedsides from previous guests so not cleaned that well. Good view on Esplanade but very noisy at night from people partying on the esplanade. Hospital close so got helicopter noise.
