We were in room 822 , on the esplanade and it was extremely noisy. Trucks going past constantly all night. First night we were lucky to get 4 hours sleep. Beds are probably at a point where they need to be upgraded. Staff were lovely and our room was extremely clean. Lots of carparks. I would suggest if you stay, forget the view and get a room around the back.

Fast and easy check-in, rooms are clean and have everything you need. Beds might need an up grade as very soft and felt well used. It was a bit noisy with outside traffic but that's to be expected in the area which is close to lots of restaurants.

We found the staff very helpful, the unit clean & quiet. The only issue we had was needing a disability bathroom which wasn't available so we had to struggle with the normal shower for my two disabled brothers. We were only there for two nights so we made do.

Great facilities they think of everything. Plus plenty of nice towels offered and the best shower set up - and best one think I’ve ever had. Great pressure, amazing. The staff who are so attentive. Great to have guest laundry too. Would be nice to have a little hand held vacuum for the carpet crumbs/hair etc and a coat rack near door. I loved this place and views across the harbour wonderful. From comfy lazy-boy recliners.
