limited breakfastlong walk
The hotel WAS pretty average overall. I was disappointed by the limited breakfast options. The fruit selection was basic, AND no hot options were available. The coffee tasted bitter too. I Also found the location not ideal. It required a long walk to the central area.

The location was excellent. It offered easy access to the waterfront and various shops. The complimentary light breakfast was a nice touch, and the staff member there was super friendly. (I really enjoyed the Vegemite!)

Adequate Hotel with Some Drawbacks

spacious roomhelpful staffcontinental breakfastsmall bathroomimpractical showerisolated location
The room was spacious and clean. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful . The hotel provided a complimentary continental breakfast. It was adequate for my needs.
The bathroom was small. I found the shower impractical. It had a rainfall effect. The hotel is somewhat isolated, and there were no shops nearby.
