3/5 Okay

Liked: Staff & service
As others have mentioned you are paying for the location 3mins walk from the beach but really not worth the price of the room which is pretty average. Aircon can't be adjusted, bathroom basin plug needs to be pulled up and turned to the left to release water (I had to get instructions from the from desk, not sure why they can spend a few extra $'s and have a spring loaded basin plug) Toiled paper 1 ply, bright lights outside window which curtains don't block , net curtains on outside of main curtains instead of inside, stain on lounge. Door didn't close properly when leaving unless you made sure to open it wide for momentum to close properly ( I left it open unintentionally twice) Foxtel movies charged at $19.95 . Reception area seemed a bit cluttered. Would not stay again at the price.
