"This property is spacious and nicely located along the 4 Mile Beach, but it is not easily walkable to the town nor any restaurants nearby. The facilities/pools seemed like they could use a deep cleaning although our room seemed to be updated and clean. The restaurants on site are quite good."

"Although it is centrally located in the central business district, this means you are exposed to pubs and bars that remain open well after 2 AM, so it is quite noisy in the early morning hours. The rooms are beyond small, I would describe them more as tiny. If only for one night, it’s probably OK. ..."
