location had a little kit with a much needed nail file

Carmel Australia

Guests services were exceptional surprising us with the news of the festival across from the hotel on the beach. Along with fireworks. I admire the effort guests services had tried to find us a special room with a view but was unfortunately booked out. The manager at reception re coded our room key after my husband and I locked ourselves out haha. Room service staff were kind. We ordered late soft drinks too after hours and was supported by guests services and we were super appreciative.

Terrilee Australia

Valet parking, comfy king size bed and pillows. Great location. Lovely bathroom huge shower

Gayle Australia

The staff are friendly and welcoming the rooms always fresh and inviting and amazing job to the chef for our lovely meal and check out is made a breeze and seriously I recommend having the breakfast buffet in the morning instead of room service so many yummy things on offer
