Merewether Beach

I booked a business room but got a two bedroom suite with kitchen and laundry, which was fantastic, however it was generally grubby. The tub and tiles were in bad need of a scrub, and under the bed is gross. Good thing I brought a sleeping bag. The staff though were the highlight of the stay - helpful and polite.

Noisy rooms, with the noise of the pub getting into our room. Double glazing would help -- I expected more, given the tariff I paid. Note that you're coming here purely for the location. The hotel is nice, but it's not a bargain, nor even good value.
