The Belmore Apartments Hotel

8/10 Good
"Room was a good size, clean, quiet and comfortable. Everything you need for a self contained stay. Handy location and was within easy walking distance to the harbour front and restaurants. Spoke to a lovely lady on reception as we were arriving after hours. This was no issue and instructions for after hours access were easy to follow. Ample parking also made it a great place to stay. Would definitely stay here again and thought it was good value."
