Needs a bit of an update with more comfortable bed but it is incredibly clean and spacious.
Verified Expedia guest review

8/10 Very good

Surprisingly quiet inside the room given the closeness of the Pacific Highway. The room was very large as was the bathroom. It had a front door and a back door for internal access to the onsite restaurant and bar. The staff were friendly and accommodating.
