We spent 2 nights here on a tour of the coast north of Perth. The receptionist was very friendly on check-in. We were given a room on the top floor which gave us a lovely sea view and a large balcony. The room was clean, bright and spacious, with plenty of storage including a walk-in wardrobe. We were also given complimentary drinks in the bar. There is a car park under the hotel which is in a central location, close to all the amenities of Geraldton. Considering the central location, the room was well soundproofed against the traffic noise. However, we did have and issue with a TV in the adjoining room on one night, played at high volume until 2am, starting again at 6am. Some hotels have volume limiters, this would be helpful. Another thing that would have benefited us would be a a room safe. But all in all, a good option for Geraldton.

Really impressed by this hotel. As it was close to sea we chose a sea facing room. Room was extremely spacious, modern with excellent amenities. Bed comfortable. Breakfast was the best we had experienced the entire holiday. All the personnel were extremely friendly and helpful.

We stayed for one night on our journey from Denham to Fremantle. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a suite from an ocean view room…. It was lovely, very comfortable, lots of space (a bath tub as well as a walk-in shower and a wonderful balcony with a sea-view. In addition, the staff were great - very friendly and helpful. We had been told that this was the best place to stay in Geraldton and we wouldn’t disagree. Two very small issues - some noise from other guests at night and parking - we didn’t have a problem but we got there early so there were still plenty of spaces.

The hotel was very convenient for everything in Geraldton and a good base to explore the northern area including the Pink Lake. Unfortunately the rooms a very noisy if you are situated near the reception area which we were. We paid a supplement for an ocean view which was there but the view was mainly a roundabout and people walking past. I suspect we were not the main source of business as we stayed 4 nights and it is probably more for one off nights. Not very relaxing, breakfast finishes at 9am. All of the staff were helpful and friendly but did not really feel like a holiday and the parking at the hotel was stressful. Spaces tight and always full.

Hello, Thank you for your review, our hotel offers many different room types, something to suit everyone's budget and comfort. Amazing views from the 4th floor! Plenty of alternative free car parking bays directly in front of the hotel for those choosing to utilize them. Luckily enough we are situated right in the heart of Geraldton so many great local cafes and breakfast spots close by.

Positioned right in the foreshore, the location is great. I had an Ocean View room, however it was on the ground floor/street front, and it never really felt safe to have the balcony window open to enjoy the breeze. Also, for this reason I couldn’t really sit out on the balcony as it felt a little too exposed. The room was clean, size ok. A well stocked minibar, lots of milk for coffee. The bed was way too soft for me. It was like sleeping In marshmallow, and for this reason I couldn’t stay here again. The free drink from the bar is a nice touch. No restaurant on site but they do have a deal with a local place that delivers to the room, or the bar. I wasn’t a fan of the breakfast menu. Would much prefer a buffet rather than a set menu, but it was ok. Very limited parking.

Hello, the hotel boasts many different room types, luxe ocean view being the 4th floor king size room. Or sea breeze we get in the afternoon is great way to cool down. Beach right across the road for an even better way to cool off.

Was not happy that I received an email saying that the TV remote was missing from our room and they had charged us. We never took the remote control. We didn't even receive a phone call saying that they couldn't find it. Just straight up it is missing and we are charging you. We stayed 1 night. The remote was there, so not sure what's happened. Screen shot of the email I received. I replied to them and still did not get a response. We never took the TV remote, who is to say the cleaners didn't take it or it is in the room and they are not looking hard enough?? We were already half way to Perth when we got this email. On check-in we got told that kids are not allowed to stay in rooms with balcony. Yet this is not stated anywhere on the website. And the people two rooms down from us had 2 kids in the balcony room. Also we ordered room service at 7.30pm on the app. After 1 hour I called to find out where the food was, and they told me the resturant was already shut. I asked about a refund and they said they would need to follow that up the next day... Also be aware there is about 20 secure parking bays available. If you don't get a parking spit, expect to leave your car in the streets of Geraldton. I won't be staying here again due to the lack of secure parking and rudeness of the staff.

Hello, thank you for your honest review, this situation has been rectified as discussed over the phone, any further concerns please do not hesitate to contact me. When bookings are made all websites ask for number of guests, if guests ty to put 3 people in a room they will be declined, it's a shame some people aren't as honest and fail to disclose how many actual people are in the room as you did on arrival, so thank you

The hotel is centrally located and it's good that they had a tie up with some restaurants nearby to make payment seamless i.e. being able to charge to your room. We decided to cut back one night and they allowed us to do so. The only disappointment was that I booked a room with a balcony but ended up not being able to sit outside. Room was as expected and I think the rate was very reasonably priced.

Perfect location, right on the beach, walking distance to nice restaurants and bars. It’s reasonably priced, rooms are clean, comfortable and quiet. I went for a walk in the morning on the beach and had breakfast at the dome right on the beach. Highly recommended

Good location in the city centre across the road from the foreshore. Friendly check in with an upgrade because we were staying 3 nights. A very spacious room indeed with a kitchenette and at the end of the corridor so it was quiet. Ocean views. Clean and well presented with a comfy king bed a big TV and a couple of chairs to relax in. Housekeeping was friendly and efficient.

Excellent room overlooking ocean with great balcony. Not cheap but we treasured two nights there. Complimentary drinks on arrival. The restaurant only opens for breakfast and finding food outlets on a Sunday and Monday night was a challenge. Staff were very pleasant. Interesting that the standard $100 bond debited to credit card on arrival took 8 days to reverse after vacating. They say allow 10. In this day and age with technology???
