Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
As a solo traveler, I found the room to be dirty, dingy and unsafe. There were no internal security measures to ensure the door to the room and the balcony could be secured. The room felt, and smelled quite bad, and I didn't even unpack. When I asked if I could be moved, I was denied as they were booked (fair enough). I actually walked around Forster and found alternative accommodation, and immediately checked out. I was denied any refund as they have a 72 hour cancellation policy.

Well worth it .
Room was perfect ,with own bathroom , which was very clean. We had a meal from the bistro ,very nice . Tea and coffee facilities in the room that were replenished everyday Except they forgot to restock the milk. Just not sure as to why the pub charged 3 different prices for the same 2 drinks 3 rounds $21.00 $23.00 & $19.99 all on the same day . . So be aware of this . All in all would thoroughly recommend the hotel. Easy walking distance to beach and shops .

This hotel is very close to the town centre. The rooms are clean and comfortable . The bistro is very convenient and the meals we have chosen have been delicious but probably a bit large. The cost is manageable.is out go to happy lace.

Cheap, off season, good cheap meals 4 nights specials, lift there but old and very slow. No off street parking, no en suite in room, not a big problem in off season, with few guests but it could be in high season. Getting bags to room was a struggle, no trolley or allocated help.

Love the updated rooms with ensuite. Beds comfortable and clean. Good menu in the bistro and also the convenience of not having to go anywhere else for dinner after a long day of travelling. Staff very friendly as well.
