Nice room and good location just a short walk from the main esplanade area which made it quieter and less busy. The room was very spacious and had good amenities.

This property was very clean, well maintained and close to eateries and esplanade. We found it a little noisy with outside traffic and other guests. Room not very soundproofed.

Lovely large room with separate bedroom. Air con throughout although bedroom air con unit noisy and not always responsive. Basic items for eating food and microwave to heat things up. Great views out over the water watching the boats and ships coming and going. Laundry on site was a bonus. Very convenient for all the downtown activities.

Suitable for short visits but without a toaster we found breakfast time disappointing. Both over 80 and no car so not excited about going out for meals too often when not on tours
