We had an excellent room at the top of the property overlooking the ocean. It was spacious and well equipped. The reception staff were pleasant and helpful. Parking was available and easy to use. We were not so keen on our dining experience. It was not higher than an adequate rating.

I was not able to spend the night because my flight got mechanical problems, and QANTAS re-scheduled our flight for the following day. So, as a result I did not spend the night at the Harborside Hotel. Please note. I do not know how to turn those rating office. They are not correct as I have not stayed at the motel for the night.

The room was very rundown and dated. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and hard, leading to a sleepless night. The staff were lovely, and we appreciated being able to use the vending machine in the lobby. Overall, we would not stay again due to the restless night we had.
