We were given a bed with a broken board underneath the mattress, so the bed was horribly sloped and bad for the back. They did move us into abetter room though, but we awoke to the volunteers in the room we were later moved to jumping off the bed and being very loud and making slamming noises - probably what broke the bed in the first place.

Nice stay. Manager and staff extremely nice and helpful. Location 1km to Aldi, 1+ to pier shorter to Woolworths. Noisy as near busy roads. Our private room very nice, bed comfortable. Bathrooms can use some hooks, shelves, and a seat. Kitchen needs more & better silverware & dishware. Bathrooms could use cleaning more often. Shower sometimes floods room. Some mildew smells. However they apparently are renovating and improving so things may be planned to do. Overall, fine place.
