Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The hotel was in a very convenient position so we were able to park the car and leave it for the length of our stay and move around by foot or light rail. We also enjoyed catching the ferry to Stockton.
The staff were friendly and the room comfortable and clean.

Room was very clean, not a big room, but enough space for 2. Balcony was enclosed without a view and at the back of the property. Great location with easy walks to bar's and cafe's and just a short walk to the upgrade Art Gallery.

Staff were very friendly and helpful on check in.
The room itself was very clean and the bed/pillows were so comfortable.
The only negative for me was the lack of curtains. There is a window in the verandah area that could not be covered so there was light coming in all night.
