Beach near by

An older hotel, a little noisy, but very clean. An added bonus was a bottle of wine and biscuits in our room. There is no elevator, so must carry suitcases upstairs

This property is very central and easy to walk to town. Stunning view. I found the room i stayed in quite outdated for the price and disappointing that others that had the exact same room had wine, chips and chocolate in their room however mine did not.

The staff at the hotel were very helpful and friendly.

Great location close to most amenities walking distances to beach. Not enough parking after 8pm

Everyone was very helpful and nice.

Staff carried my bag to the top floor

Definitely NOT a 4 Star property as advertised. After hour checkin worked well. Property needs to be refurnished. Carpet in room was extremely worn and soiled.

Beautiful room with an incredible view! No elevator so be prepared to go up and down a couple of flights of stairs. Staff do offer to help with bags but it was still a little tricky with knee injuries.

Friendly staff

Good one night stopover

Ok but not ok

Ok hotel, but several smokers / vapours on balconies made it unpleasant. Neat in rooms but noisy.

It was a good and comfortable to stay a overnight.

I loved the spa room, it was very relaxing

The view from the location was magic. The bathroom was very small and had a door which stuck.The fridge was broken and had the fridge door open open one way and the cupboard door open the other way which we found frustrating. The pool looked dirty. Being right on the corner was very noisy

Great family room, plenty of space to spread out. Gorgeous views from the balcony. Friendly service from the front desk. Will definitely be back!

Great follow up for late checkin. Parking is VERY limited! Get in early or miss out.

Property is well located close to beaches and water. Accommodation is a little basic but the staff are very friendly. Would stay there again.

All good thank you

:)

Great location to everything

100 stars for the lovely lady who checked us in. super bubbly and warm. Thankyou. Rooms great, will be happy to return

Easy check in nice location , plenty of parking

Overall the stay was very pleasant. Free nibblies and wine was a nice touch also. Would stay there again without hesitation.

Limited parking and noisy

Place was close to Ocean and great location. Enjoyed our stay and will stop there again if available.

Good property but the info made it look like it was very close to the beach. The beach is a long way down from the property.

This motel is very convenient, walk to beaches, town, cafes, restaurants. The view is amazing! Will definitely stay here again

Perfect location, view and very clean

This was a great location to Town Beach. No need for the car. The room was clean (could have dusted the lamps though) and small. Then again there was 3 beds in the room as I was travelling with my partner and tween child. The bathroom of the room we had on the ground floor is definitely not disability friendly but the rain shower head was amazing. The pool was large and my child had a fun time in the afternoon in it. For why we needed and with a last minute booking this was a great stay.

Large well appointed room

Lovely view of the beach, easy walk to food.

Great spot and very comfortable.

Had the best room in the hotel and it was very comfortable with a nice selection of complimentary welcome amenities. Unfortunately the directional vanes on the a/c weren’t working properly, but it effectively and quietly cooled the room. The bedside light on the bathroom side played up and had to keep tapping it to get it to stay on. Was also able to charge my EV (granny charger) in a somewhat designated spot, which was a plus. Disappointingly, the breakfast room, which has an amazing view, doubles as a sauna. At this time of year it was unbearable. They really need to install a small split-system on the bulk-head, which faces into the room. All in a, a good stay and would stay there again.

Great location and free parking, but the hotel is nothing like the pictures and needs a refresh.

Great family rooms for a short stay

Location and view of the beach was great but accommodation was overpriced for the dated apartment. No lift was inconvenient.

The staff were super friendly & helpful & the onsite parking was great BUT this property is nothing like the photo shopped photos on Expedia. There was mildew on the curtains in our room, nowhere to really relax pool side, a mound of dirt in the lobby corner (about a shoebox full spread on the floor) was never cleaned up. Paper thin walls so we could hear everything, security was a huge issue, anyone off the street has access to the entire hotel at any time of day and early evening, no 24 hour reception or staff on site at night either. All rooms and facilities were very, very run down and not kept up. We paid over $325 for this hotel and not was worth $100 a night. It is a 1 star or 2 star hotel hotel at best.

Great stay, very convenient. But they definitely need a bit of a refresh.

Fridge not working, air conditioner not working, old and tired needs an update.

Only criticism was the noise of cars speeding around during the night.

Beautiful location so easy for a family with young kids to get around and enjoy the beach and town centre.

Poor condition room and WiFi not working. Avoid staying here.

The beach side views are a big thing was able to watch the fire works on NYE from my room Which is great. Everything was easy to access we stayed right in the middle of port so was able to walk everywhere

This hotel is in a great location with amazing views, but that’s really where it stops. The photographs are hugely overrated and highly edited. There are so many oddities, including an unstaffed 24 hour reception, so you need to check-in ahead of time if arriving after 7pm. I don’t know how rooms are so expensive - we paid more here for a single night than staying two nights in any other location we travelled to during our time in Australia (Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Cairns), yet the room and its age was the worst. It was totally baffling - the hotel is like the land that time forgot. It is dated and in need of some serious investment. The ‘spa room’ is a shower over the bath with some jets in the bath if you wanted to take the risk. The back windows have no coverings, so it’s daylight from sunrise. Save money by not adding breakfast. Again, the oddest experience - a squashed space with a couple of tables and pre-packed continental bits and a fridge stashed with milk and yoghurts, all crammed onto a makeshift table. Except for parking and its location, I couldn’t recommend staying here.

The stay was pleasant, basic features, could do with an upgrade but overall good for a short stay. Parking can be an issue.

Great location. We booked the upper floor coast-facing all-windows room. Spectacular views. Noisy (traffic) during the day, but fine at night for sleeping. Good blackout drapes. The buffet breakfast was very minimal, but adequate, and the staff were nice. Great area with Town Beach right below the property. Easy access to the beach and harbour walks, good nearby restaurants. Parking was a breeze on-site.

Fantastic view, room was extremely clean, nice bathroom

Dust

The property was noisey with noise from the road and people. That being said the location was convenient with close access to the beach and places to eat. It was exceptionally clean and tidy. The building and area had an I retesting history. The observatory was open across the road but you had to pre book. Good selection of crockery and glassware in the room. As well as a kettle and microwave. The sink was large enough to fill water bottles. Parking is limited onsite and you may have to use the road, but this is also free. If you can park outside it’s an extremely short walk from car to room. Pool is very small and right on the road. The bathroom set up would have been problematic if you were a larger human as the door opened into the side of the sink and as two smaller women we had to enter the shower side on.

Lovely view of the coast

Very comfortable bedding & linen. Slept well & beautiful view of the coast

Good

Great location

Great location, near the beach, quiet and friendly staff

Gun sound after midnight noted by reception poor security It’s terrible accomodation

Lovely night stay in a very comfortable bed . Clean room lovey bathroom products . Only downside parking was a bit tight , had to park on main road . Fantastic lovey staff

Magnificent view but needs some TLC

Full marks to Ibis Styles reception staff who were efficient and friendly. Beautifully situated with magnificent view, we stayed twice for one night in the past two weeks. First time in a "spa" room and second in a room with balcony. The spa room was comfortable enough but very "tired", also noisy. Second room much better, very comfortable, but again needed some TLC in many areas. We would very much like to return, hopefully the standard will have improved (lots could be done very easily).

It’s a pleasant stay with a great view in the oceanview rooms I was very surprised to see a number of dogs staying - it was great to see hotels accepting pets and there should be more of it

Aged, tired, worst hotel stay in years

Out of the way from Port City, a decent walk, not many dining venues around, but unit is close to the beach. Very noisy, with service vehicles through the early morning in the rear lane and also traffic noise out the front. The room needs maintenance as we had 2 x windows that couldnt be closed, rear windows in the bathroom dont close at all. Nice staff, Location is great but be prepared for a walk.

Comfy bed, everything you needed for a comfortable stay.

Great location opposite the beach.

Staff were great rooms not so , small bathroom . Very thin walls could hear people coming and going all night .

Very comfortable bed very quiet

Love how it's pet friendly

Having stayed in a few motels over the years , l just found this overpriced for what you got. The bed though comfy looked like it came from a Balinese reject shop. The building was tired looking with ill fitting bits all over the place ie the door had a card reader handle which didn’t fit where the old door handle was. Inside the front door it was obviously badly patched in places . And more, not worth the price compared to others

Great staff and service. The room was beautiful and clean.

Loving a short break

Amazing stay. Friendly welcoming staff. Give away fruit. Fantastic location & views

Property was value for money, great location,

I loved the view of the ocean from our room and the room was very clean friendly staff and very helpful

Very friendly service. Clean and comfortable room with good basic amenities. Will stay again

Convenient location, and nice to hear the ocean at night. Room was clean and comfortable, but a bit dated. Unfortunately we were woken up early by workmen making noise on the roof.

The location is great with views to the beach and ocean generally. Easy walk into town via the boardwalk is very enjoyable. A few nice cafes/restaurants in the immediate vicinity.

Amazing central spot great quick stay

Very basic, very old fridge which requires to be replaced as I saw rust formation at the top of the door, complimentary coffee sachets , sugar where purposely fully kept at the lowest rack, my question to the management is if a elderly person stays at your place , do you think they will be comfortable with this? When it comes to paid drinks you have kept it purposely at the top. This shows your money mindedness does not have any limits.

Great location opposite Town Beach, easy walk into town

The family room was massive and fit all 5 of us comfortably. The only draw card to the room is there is only one bathroom. It's a beautiful location with seriously incredible views, however, it was really noisy with cars blaring music from the park directly across the road. The location is great. Still close enough for us to walk the esplanade into town and a super short walk to Town Beach. Overall, a great one - two night accommodation option.

The property was clean although a bit dated, which meant it looked nothing like the pictures advertising it. It did have a great sea view from the room we chose though (although the balcony was quite small). It was very noisy overnight as it’s quite a busy road and our room was next to the breakfast area, so we could hear that being set up quite early. It wasn’t a terrible stay just not what we had expected from the pictures/description.

Last minute stay in the area. 3rd floor room and there is NO LIFT. Room smelt musty. Over priced for what you get. Room was clean thankfully.

Great location

clean comfortable good veiws

Nice view close to everything

Even though there was no lift, the receptionist offered to help us up the stairs with our bags to our second floor room. Most appreciated

Great location, friendly and helpful staff

Only downer was the elevator didn’t work. Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent location and clean. Well stocked room.

Fantasy location and the best views. Staff friendly and helpful. Loved the rooms.

Port weekend

Good clean hotel with great views

Older nice property in a lovely location. Gorgeous sea view and very comfy bed. Room and spa was very nice and well maintained. Plenty of parking. Needs a little maintenance on the balcony. Very cracked up tiles and the outside table needs replacing. Good value for money.

Comfortable and relaxing stay

Comfortable and relaxing stay All the staff professional friendly and welcoming Hospitality with A CAN DO Attitude Location brilliant with ocean views. 10 mins from town centre and shopping Beach across the road Perfect break away.

Room offered expansive views over the beach and coastline.

Very old and rooms very small

Awesome location, and views. Small balcony

Very dated, nothing like the picture. Staff were helpful in arranging access as we arrived after hours. Cleanliness was ok, shower was very small and water pressure was awful. Our room was just outside the breakfast room and was very noisy. Car parking was limited, we needed to park on the street. Nowhere near enough car parks.

Nice comfortable beds . We could see lots of whales from our balcony .

We had 2 Little dogs and were very impressed this motel was excellent The dogs were very relaxed and quiet and the king bed was great and comfortable for myself and my partner Love the service and how close take away food was The area is Beautiful Will return

A great stop between Sydney and Brisbane with your 4 legged friend.

Business trips

Great as always. Stay there each time we are visiting!

Breakfast is very basic

The view

We picked this property at short notice for location & convenience. The bed was extremely confortable and the gentleman at the front desk was very accommodating with a request we had. Hoping to return someday soon.

Good location and good service! But as this hotel is dog friendly, bit noisy middle of night. We woke up couple of times because of dog barking….
