Hotel is attached to an Irish pub attached to a shopping centre area, that has a Woolworths and some fast food outlets. It is only a short drive to Maroubra Beach. Parking is free and is part of the general precinct area. Check-in was efficient with all necessary instructions and information provided. Room was spacious and clean and nil issues. You do hear the patrons from the pub up until they close and move on. There was no live music playing on the night of my stay. Once patrons move on though the place is super quiet. If however you want an early night sleep, and are a light sleeper then maybe your quality of sleep will be affected. Would have liked to have used the pub as it looked nice, but due to early start the next morning I didn't . My stay was pleasant with no issues. Would stay here again if in the area.
