Coles Beach Holidays

Loved the location - walked to restaurants and bars; loved the happy hour and the food! Great stay for 6?-adults!!

The staff was excellent: bellman, receptionists, waiters. They account for the rating of excellent. The room was attractive and well furnished but oddly, no tea maker, just the kind of coffee that uses wasteful plastic cups in a little machine. They will, however, provide a kettle but the plug will go in an outlet near the floor and the wire is short so anticipate bending way over. The restaurant was also attractive, and the food was remarkably good; we don't always expect that in a hotel. What was NOT GOOD was a high "amenity fee" for things that we didn't use, unless internet access (free in every other hotel we've stayed in in the USA and Europe) was part of it. It is shockingly expensive. Once the hotel has bought exercise machines which I suppose are in the fitness room, and raised hotel rates to amortize the purchase, there's no need to have an amenity fee for that, either. And so on. Shame on the greedy owners! And I don't think the fee was on the Expedia website, either. If it wasn't, shame on Expedia for concealing the outrageous charge.

This was (I believe) our fourth stay the DC Jefferson. The rooms are beautiful, and more important to us, the friendly, prompt, and courteous service is fantastic. We are always greeted by EVERYONE with a welcoming smile. I actually threw a birthday party for my wife earlier this year and Golnaz was extraordinarily helpful and accommodating. We'll be back next year!

The Darcy is nice enough, but the bathrooms and hallways are quite small and the mattresses (I was in room 438) are a bit saggy and overly soft. I will probably try another place next time. But the location and staff are very good.
