"The view from our room was outstanding and we could hear the waves crashing which was lovely"

"I spoke to the lovely manager and she advised me that they are in the process of doing a refresh and remodel of the rooms. Overall it was just fine for one night. The shower was a bit icky. I can see that if they took the time to make a significant investment in the remodel it will pay off especially because nice properties definitely get a return for that investment in city locations"

"Nice vintage-style room. We rushed to arrive by 7pm, as the office closed at 7. We arrived at 6:50 only to find the closed sign. Had to hit the emergency button. We prepaid for breakfast, but received no details from the young man that checked us in; however a beautiful and large breakfast was delivered to our room just before 8am. Had we been informed, we would have answered our door faster. The apartment was mostly clean, had adequate kitchen and included instant tea, coffee, and cocoa. A container of milk was provided at check in. Bed was comfortable; did find several long hairs on the sheets. Separate shower and toilet rooms were nice. Washroom vanity is very small. Hairdryer was great! Parking was right in front of our apartment. "

"Nice old hotel, value as we got a very cheap rate for our particular stay on the weekend"

"Nice to have private balcony, nice and warm, air con, wall heater and undertile heating was great, great location and very quiet"

"Given an unexpected family room with 2 bedrooms, a kitchenette with microwave plus washer & dryer. Very handy. Not so close to the main central shopping area but not too far to walk either. Paid Parking for car in the next building."

"Great central location. Apartment was comfortable and roomy. Staff were friendly and helpful.Great to have the option of secure off street parking."

"Excellent location, friendly staff,good breakfast, restaurant good."

"Beautiful upgraded room with wrap around balcony. Staff was amazing, although they seemed to be short staffed much of the time. No fault of the staff, as they often seemed to be doing double or triple duty. But occasionally things were a bit slow. I would definitely stay here again. The location is fantastic and very walkable. "
