Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The layout was nice, cosy and spacious. The blinds in some areas did not cover the windows completely and the last person to stay cooked curry, making the place smell like an Indian restaurant, but that's ok, I left the doors and windows ooen for a few hours, something the cleaners maybe should have done before we arrived. No sponge left for us to wipe over table or benches after washing dishes, only a dish brush.

Beds need an upgrade

The service was great and the rooms were alright, slightly dated bathroom but the shower was pretty good. The beds were soft and I had trouble sleeping all night, if they replace the beds then I would consider coming back.

Great value hotel in fantastic location

Stayed for 2 nights in a Superior Spa Suite. Quick, easy and friendly check in. The Suite was a great size - really big living area and bathroom. Very comfy king size bed. Great location between Nelson and Shoal bay. Lots of free parking. Would definitely stay again.
