Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a prime location, directly across from the beach and close to shops and restaurants. The rooms are spacious and comfy, with a very convenient kitchenette, although starting to show some signs of wear. The service was attentive and welcoming, with a special offer to accommodate our needs. The dining options were satisfactory, especially being near great eating places. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
I stayed at a hotel that had its ups and downs. The constant loud clacking of footsteps above my head was a bit annoying, but having a balcony with a view of the bay and Lorne Beach was a real treat. The basic amenities in the room were convenient, and the daily servicing was a nice touch.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The location is amazing, right on the beach and in the center of town. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was top-notch. The dining options were great, and the facilities were fantastic. The value for money here is unbeatable!
