My stay was beyond my expectations, with rooms that were even better than the photos portrayed, especially with the Oceanview. The layout includes 1 queen bed and 2 single beds in another room, which was ideal for my group. The service was top-notch, with the staff being extremely helpful and welcoming. The location couldn't have been better, being so close to the beautiful Manly beach and offering easy access to both Manly and Shelly beach. The dining experience had its ups and downs, but the views at Manly Wine and the friendly service made up for it.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a bit of a dated beach condo feel but well-appointed. The split levels and strange railing may not appeal to everyone. The service is excellent, with friendly staff surprising guests with special gestures. The location is ideal for beach lovers and those seeking nearby amenities, although noise levels can be a concern. Dining options may vary for different accommodations, affecting the perceived value. Overall, a comfortable stay with attentive service and convenient access to Manly Beach and local attractions.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and located close to beach attractions and local sites, which was a big plus. However, the room wasn't ready upon my arrival despite confirming the check-in time the day before. The service was brilliant, with the staff being friendly and attentive. The location was excellent, right across the road from the beach, making it a perfect spot for both relaxation and easy access to attractions in Manly and beyond. The dining experience was good, although the breakfast menu discrepancy was a minor letdown. Overall, a great value for money stay.

The hotel is situated in a lovely location, surrounded by various dining options and entertainment possibilities. The rooms, although advertised as superior family rooms, were comfortable overall, but the placement of the TV made viewing somewhat challenging. Disappointingly, the room amenities fell short, providing only 2 pillows and a single sheet on the bed, a letdown considering the price paid.
