The shower had good pressure.
The room reeked of stale smoke. I also found the bed far too firm. It affected my sleep. The air conditioning unit rattled incessantly during the night making it difficult to rest.

Really good Stay

secure parkingconvenient restaurantstrategic locationfaulty shower head
The Finn Finn restaurant on-site was a convenient dining option. The room had free secure parking. The location is near the Esplanade and beach, it provided easy access to attractions.
The shower head made showering difficult, water sprayed around with normal pressure. I needed to turn the pressure right down to avoid this, it was an inconvenience.
