Clean, Comfortable, Great location
Our room was clean and had good amenities for a stay (fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, plates, cutlery). The pool was very clean. The service at check-in and checkout and during the stay was great. Located in a nice area with lovely beach, lots of dining options, 2 shopping centres nearby and the tram stop.

It was fine for the price and close to the beach and other attractions. It was just a very windy night when we were there, and the door and windows rattled all night.
