The hotel overlooks the bay, offering an excellent location for those seeking a city with a difference. The rooms are spacious and modern, equipped with luxury amenities, but the dining options could be improved. The service is great, with helpful staff always available.

The staff were welcoming and friendly, promptly finding us a portable heater for our room. The location is superb, overlooking the beach and within easy walking distance of charming cafes and even a Hot Salt Water Pool. The dining experience, although a bit pricy, was delightful with delicious food and ocean views.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and stylish rooms offering a nice view, though some maintenance issues were noticeable.

The hotel is perfectly situated overlooking the bay, ideal for beach lovers and those who enjoy dining out.

The service was a mix of friendliness and overly familiar behavior, with some standout helpful and professional staff members.

The hotel offers picturesque views of the Lake from the comfortable rooms, perfect for a business trip. The service was responsive, though not fully meeting the expected standard. The location was lovely with a wonderful view of St Clair Beach, close to dining options. Dining could be improved for a better experience. Overall, a cozy stay with room for enhancement.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were large and very comfortable, with a nice balcony overlooking the water, but there was some mess that needed vacuuming. The price was quite high due to a rugby event. The service was a bit hit or miss; while they carried our luggage and were quick to respond to my request for a vacuum cleaner, they were not very welcoming although they were friendly. The location was amazing, perfect for various beach activities with lovely views of St Clair Beach, but it could get very busy. The dining experience had its ups and downs; the Pork Belly was seriously yummy, but I had to wait for over an hour for underdone poached eggs. Overall, the hotel had everything we required and was clean. Additional Details: Spacious rooms, friendly staff. Value for money an issue due to high price and some service aspects. Great location for beach activities, but can get busy.
