Very quiet considering we were right in the middle of Port Macquarie. Multiple cafes for morning coffee within a close walking distance. Also very close to shopping centre and walk to the river and beach. Top spot for a quick stay. Very nice staff at reception.

Nice & convenient location in the centre of the town. The rooms are spacious & clean & the shower was good. One big downfall is the parking for the rooms 103 & up. The ramp to the right hand side of the lot near the pool, You have to drive up the ramp & park up the top. There is no room to turn around & parking was very hard, everyone had to REVERSE Up an angled ramp to park & still do 4 point turns to try & park properly. Not practical & also very dangerous.
