A small room, but very comfortable bed and a decent shower although on the whole perhaps in need of some updating. Nicely situated on the esplanade with views over the bay. A mixup with our booking on arrival, and thank goodness we qualified for a discount on dinner and breakfast because the prices are quite high. Service in the restaurant... More

We stayed 3 nights at this Hotel, we had a 3 1/2 star room, and that was fine as we knew what to expect. Previous reviews indicate they are to be upgraded, but there was no indication that anything had been done yet. Overall, these rooms are a little tired, and the shower over the bath which required a bit... More

As others have indicated, the hotel is a little tired, but the staff's willingness to keep customers happy is the best part about this place. Stayed for a week and originally got assigned an Access room that smelled moldy and had one of the grottiest shower recesses I have ever seen in a hotel. Got moved after complaining and paying...

Our stay on the long weekend holiday meant it was busy but the staff were always courteous and pleasant in both reception and the bar area. Our room at the rear of the hotel was spacious and quiet and very clean. The towels were a little rough! Unfortunately the Chifley had changed it's name 5 days earlier and we had... More
