Liked: Cleanliness
Great value and location. I stayed at Novotel for 1 night when Tropical Cyclone Alfred made it to land. The hotel is very outdated. The lighting is poor at the restaurant and hall ways to get to your room. It feels like I’ve time travelled back 30 years ago. In saying that, I did not feel the hotel room was dirty at all; it was clean. The ‘Family room’ bathroom is tiny though and felt very claustrophobic. I believe they have renovation plans in place already, and looking forward to seeing the new Novotel.

Umm Hi Don't normally write bad reviews, just never go back. None of the issues listed below were raised with staff with exception of the faulty room lock. I have however sent a copy of this review to Accorn before publishing. Now where to start? - Fire alarm screaming "EMERGENCY EMERGENCY" at 2.00am in the morning. I joined a small group of neighbouring guests and evacuated using the fire stairs. Spoke to attending fire crew and was cleared to re-enter. Concierge and security on the other hand was in complete disarray. Fire drill and training maybe? - Locked out of room a couple of days later. Locking mechanism needed fresh set of batteries. - Water leaking from the sealing blocking one entry to the ground floor restaurant. - Lifts out of order. - Big stain on the carpet in the outside passage near my door. - Sliding robe door faulty. Very difficult to open and close. - Swimming pool open times restricted due to building fascia works.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Novotel. My room had a view of tall buildings in the front, the beach to the right and the canals to the left. Big thanks to the receptionist who greeted me on arrival (can’t remember his name but he’s from Brazil) 🌈

The room was nice and clean with sea views. My main complaint would be the fact of having to pay $25 per day for parking on site👎. Ended up parking a short distance away for $95 for a week. The pool was nice but maybe closed to early at 10pm and the spa turned out to only be a hot tub as it wasn't working. Overall wasn't as bad as some i have stayed at.
