The room was excellent, service was accomadating and pleasant. realise there is some things that need to fix but all is in hand as I understand ( wifi and restaurant) I would have liked a bitmore water pressure for the show ( Room 10) all the complaints are minor and a easy fix. Location is superb. will go there again in 5 months

Disliked: Amenities
Location is good but the property is in poor condition and at circa $300 a night (which is what we paid for a very basic 2x1 room) it is poor value. Nothing in promotional material indicates restaurant is closed (probably a very long time ago). Compared to similarly priced properties in Geraldton, such as Broadwater and Hospitality Inn, it is a rip off.

Unavailable wifi not stated upfront before booking. Blankets supplied not for all beds. Very hot water runs from cold taps before water becomes cold - dangerous with young children. Bathroom floor easily flooded due to inappropriate shower curtain lengrh. TV remote missing backing - does not always work with batteries not being secured by cover.

Large clean modern room . Good location with beach

Room was upstairs and had lovely views of the beach. Large modern and updated room. Easy parking. The negative was, the hot water in the shower took at least 5 minutes to warm up, also the hand basin in the bathroom was tiny, could barely wash my hands. Overall, would stay here again.
