The hotel is perfectly located for our needs and had doors and gates at the top of stairs which was a great help with our one-year-olds. Although there was a slight smell of cleaning products, the rooms were still in great condition.

The location was excellent, just a few minutes stroll to the Jetty and choice of restaurants. The hotel needs a makeover but is perfect for exploring the Northern NSW beaches and the hinterland. It's also close to the train station.
