Overall average

Waterfront hotel is a budget hotel, but our room was very small with an enormous bathroom suitable for the disabled. Over the 4 nights we stayed there, our room was not serviced and we had to request fresh towels daily. The fridge, microwave, tv and kettle were all plugged into one power board hanging from the ceiling, and if all appliances were being used at once, the power would cut out

It was hard to find and while the bed was comfortable it is an older motel. The curtains aren't able to keep all the lighting out of the room when the night lights are on and I need a cool dark room to sleep, so had a disturbed night. Even clean and although it had cutlery, it had no plates or bowls and 2 tiny capsules of milk for an overnight budget stay.

The property was great and staff were friendly, the only issue was that the rooms had very limited storage space, perfect if only staying a few days but we were there for almost a week and basically had to live out of our suitcases. Overall we had a great time.
