"Staff were lovely - it has a 24/7 reception team. Our room had an updated modern bathroom but the remaining part of the room was still very dated and unrefurbished. However it was clean and the bed was comfortable.One of the elevators was down at the time of our stay, but the other was working. It is a great location, beach was right out the front and you can walk to cainrs city along the waterfront in under 20mins."

"Highly recommend The Abbott - it was far superior to what I'd expected. The rooms were large and clean, and quiet. Air Con worked well. There was a common area with a free coffee machine and biscuits, a great asset for early mornings before heading out on day trips. There was also a free washing machine and dryer. The front staff were super friendly and always willing to help out. I would 100% stay again."
