The room was very clean, had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Even though the property is little old and kinda dated its still a wonderful place to stay.

Staff was great, the bathroom was so dated though, the shower box and floor tiles looked like there wasn’t any upgrades since the 90s. The shower also drains very slow, water built up within 30 second of being in the shower.. we told front desk about it the next day and it was fixed. But seriously, I’ve read sad bathroom reviews online about this place, didn’t believe it as the bathroom photos looked ok and newish.. but was sorely disappointed I didn’t trust the reviews.

Comfy bed, clean linen, nice extras, safe parking. However, was not happy staff at The Cove did not communicate in advance, that the restaurant was closed for renovations, so had to go out for evening meal & breakfast. Hard to wash our plates, cups etc when no plug in handbasin. Surprised no fan in the bathroom.
