    breathtaking views

    Spoiler alert, it’s worth it!

    The perfect blend of location and hospitality! Direct access to parking made my stay smooth. The room was cozy, with friendly staff enhancing the experience—a lovely touch was complimentary breakfast options served at the table. Witnessing a breathtaking sunrise right from the hotel was the cherry on top! A must-visit!

    lively atmosphere
    loud music

    The atmosphere was lively with great hospitality that really

    Made our family feel welcome. We enjoyed the cozy lounge and multiple dining options. the music in the bar could be quite loud, making conversations difficult at times.

    exceptional breakfast
    small room

    Had a lovely 3-night stay. the cozy atmosphere and fantastic food made it special. Breakfast was exceptional, and they delivered a fruit salad even without fruit on the menu! Only downside, our room felt small.

    stunning views
    great breakfast
    room maintenance
    weak wi-fi

    The location of Arnold's is a real gem, right in the heart of town with stunning views across the bay. Found the check-in process straightforward, but the room felt a bit dated. The carpet could use a refresh, and the thin walls allowed for noise from the next room. the bed was comfortable enough for a restful night's sleep. Breakfast stood out—cooked to order with a proper menu rather than the usual buffet, which was a nice surprise. Had a lovely breakfast experience with delicious choices. The dining room felt spacious, and the dining staff were polite and efficient. Wi-Fi was weak at times, which made it a bit frustrating when attempting to connect. Despite some room maintenance issues and the need for a bit of a makeover, my overall stay was enjoyable.

    cozy atmosphere
    tasty meals

    Had a great time with friends exploring Horn Head and Glenveagh National Park. The warm fires and comfy seating made for a cozy evening after our adventures. The staff were friendly and the meals were tasty, especially breakfast each morning. We particularly enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and the views. Perfect place for unwinding after a day of hikes!

    comfy lobby
    clean room
    central location
    hard mattress
    thin walls

    I stayed in a Twin Room, and honestly, it felt a bit dated. The mattress was pretty hard, and I struggled to find more than one usable power socket. The room was clean but a bit gloomy with dark furniture and thin walls. I could hear everything from the neighboring room, which made it hard to sleep. On the flip side, the location was spot on, and the lobby had comfy chairs and a nice vibe.

    This place suits me perfectly with free wi-fi, spacious parking, and a welcoming lounge bar. I remember the staff even provided a wake-up call during my first stay. I'm coming back for a weekend.

    ocean views
    local produce
    breakfast choices
    dated rooms

    Stunning ocean views from the lobby create a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a day. The food consistently impresses, with a menu that highlights local produce and offers multiple choices for breakfast.

    Some rooms come off as a bit dated, featuring worn carpets that could use a refresh. During peak dining hours, congestion can make for a frustrating experience, and delays in service might test your patience. Wi-Fi connectivity struggles to hold up, which is inconvenient for those wanting to stay connected.
