Not best, not worst.

We paid over 340 for this room which definitely was not worth that amount compared to others in the area or city. It’s not the worst place I have been but for that price it was pretty poor! The room carpet was fraying, tiles missing from the floor in bathroom and around spa bath. Dodgy paint job to patch a hole in the roof, cracked basin and bed dipped in middle…..just not greatly maintained room. On the way out we noticed the carpet in the corner being eaten by some kind of bug.

Love the location, many great spots to eat in walking distance and the proximity to the beach. Spacious room, with a big tub. The overall condition is definitely feeling tired and the room felt different to what the pictures conveyed honestly; but the staff were helpful and we enjoyed our stay. Would like a few more TV options, it was just the free to air channels and no ability to even sign into your own Netflix, I wish I knew because we had planned to enjoy some quiet nights in and that was disappointing.

Need a new elevator Staff are friendly and helpful, area is good close to the beach, main attractions and public transport. The rooms themselves need a bit of love, a fresh coat of paint and shower needs a new head but the bed is comfortable and clean and secure.
