The property was in a great location and for the price is was ok. I probably wouldn’t stay there again. The staff were friendly but the shower was useless, couldn’t get the right temperature or any water pressure.

You get what you pay for. As we were only using this for somewhere to sleep a cheap room on the road side of the hotel was fine. The room was pretty old and a bit dated maybe even overpriced but it was school holidays and Anzac weekend so everything was pricey. I heard that some rooms have been updated so maybe check before booking. Great staff, nice bar, pool area looked great and it's a short stroll into town for restaurants. I'd stay again.

The property is dated with stained carpets and old furniture. The restaurant however served an excellent breakfast with great variety. When we arrived the front doors were locked and no one answered the number left to call. Fortunately a guest sitting in the lobby let us in and a staff member came back to the hotel within 10 minutes to give us our room keys.

I booked a room with a view of the water and got a room over the road. At night there was a lady crazed on drugs screaming ross the rd so that kept everyone up that night, that was not the hotels fault but if I was in the correct room I wouldnt have heard that. All photos show rooms with views.. This is not the case.

Needs improvement
I have stayed in a few comfort inns before and this was by far the worst. No notice of accessibility on the website, didn’t know there were only stairs to access the second floor where our room was. The toilet didn’t flush properly and we got a view of the receptions roof (one of two rooms that had that view). I would have paid more for another view but there were none available. Also, the back sliding door only had the chain to lock it because the other lock was broken, and felt unsafe. The addition of a cockroach waking me up after crawling on my face just topped the experience.

The Staff were great. It was lovely to get a up grade. The room was a little tired but great view:-) The pool was so good. It was lovely & refreshing, not cold. The restaurant looked great but did not eat. We did have a drink & sat outside the pool area and looked at the view. The walk along the water to town was beautiful too. We got it for a good price $165 a night. Was totally worth it:-)

Disappointed
The staff performed their duties adequately, but lacked in customer service and connection. There was a lack of information from staff at check-in about the hotel's offerings, and the rooms felt outdated with dirty carpets and marked walls. The bathrooms were in need of renovation, and the outdated practice of rolling up towels on the bed was observed. The overall interior of the hotel could use an upgrade. Reception staff appeared too relaxed, focusing on socialising with each other rather than attending to guests. Unfortunately, the hotel internet was unreliable. Given the premium charges, the overall experience was disappointing.

Room did not look like the picture booked online. View was the roof and it had a horrible old musty smell - my son’s dust allergies were playing up whilst we were there. Little blue tiles in the pool were missing and kids playing with them as they were coming loose and floating around. Was looking forward to breakfast downstairs but the fire alarm went off as someone burnt toast in the restaurant so we missed out.

Worst motel room we have ever stayed in for over 30 years. Never ever stay here again. Room outdated, dirty, noisy, falling apart, plumbing in bathroom noisy and unsafe when turning on hot water. Pillows and bedspread stained. Bedside table not wiped and had who knows what splattered all over it. Shower curtain stained. Tiles cracked and unsafe. Neighbours children able to knock on door adjoining room? Bed base and mattress old and uncomfortable.

We paid for a room with 1x King and 1x Queen bed for our family of 2 adults & 3 small children, however upon check-in we quickly realised we'd been given the incorrect room (1x Queen 1x single bed). I addressed the issue with the woman at front desk and she very abrubtly said it was not their fault, the room we paid for doesn't exist and we had to take it up with lastminute.com. No sincere apology and an offer to move an extra single bed up to the room was the only option they could provide. Absolutely appalled at the level of attitude this woman gave me, considering we had done nothing wrong and had only spent money on a room that was advertised as available! The hotel reservation paper even stated the type of room we had booked/paid for (they would have seen this before allocating us a room) and they sent us up to a room they were well aware was not what we had paid for anyway. The woman stated it was a common issue they were having, however had this been the case, an immediate apology explaining this would have been much better recieved, rather than telling me "we don't have that room, it's not our fault you were sold an unavailable room, take it up with whoever you booked with". Will never stay or recommend this place to anyone. The roll-out bed they provided was like sleeping on a hard floor and the room provides no noise privacy from neighbouring rooms or hallway. Worst experience as a travelling parent with children in tow - the most horrendous customer service

We booked for NYE so of course the price was higher as we expected, and my first phone interaction with Sue was lovely but sadly when we arrived it was disheartening, loads of house keeping washing piled in the hallway, stained and damaged carpet in the hallway and dated common area, the room was clean modern, neat and tidy but the walls paper thin and could hear all the rooms around us When leaving the room the door had to be closed by hand a tad unsafe as all doors to out side open and passing foot traffic can enter the premises worst part was opening the sliding door onto balcony not only ours but we could hear when the neighbours opened theirs (the true loud noise of nails down a chalkboard) so sad that even after another name change it has not improved.

This property is horribly run down. I booked a queen/king room with a river view- didn't get a viewand was told they don't have a room of that sort and was given a twin and queen. The sliding door barely moved and didn't seal tight when closed. The bathroom was in disrepair with broken tile and a shower that trickled out water that was impossible to get to a temperature that wasn't either scalding hot or frigid. The location was okay but yet although "on the water" it was not water you could access to enter to swim. Very disappointing overall.
