Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers functional rooms that might be slightly dated but serve their purpose, with the downside of not being able to achieve complete darkness for sleep. The service is friendly and good at communicating, although some language barriers may exist. The location is ideal for a simple stopover but lacks some specific amenities. The dining options are available in the attached pub, but breakfast may not be included. Overall, it's a decent choice for a basic stay.
My stay at the hotel was lovely! The rooms were very nice with amazing views. The meals at the pub were clean and provided everything we needed.
The hotel was clean, good location, but had some issues with cleanliness and noise. The service was just okay and lacked attentiveness at times, despite being clean with good WiFi. The location suited our needs well and was good for touring the east coast Tasmania. The dining was a bit pricey for the quality of food, but a good start for the day after a swim in the pool. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel has a prime location near the beach and restaurants, offering nice views and a quiet atmosphere. The rooms are spacious but have thin walls, revealing some noise from adjacent rooms. The service is generally good, with attentive staff arranging convenient transportation. The dining options are basic and somewhat overpriced. Overall, the hotel provides a mix of positives and negatives worth considering.
