Peter B. Couples - 6/1/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

ChecK in was good and got an upgrade to ocean view. Observatory offers free secure undercover parking and a short stroll to the beach.

Thank you for your wonderful review and for choosing to stay with us. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your ocean view upgrade and found our location convenient for both the beach and local attractions. We truly value your loyalty as an ALL Gold member and look forward to welcoming you back to The Observatory again soon. Warm Regards, Ashleigh

Well located and a comfortable stay. Tow issues though 1/ day before arrival received email saying check-in was between 2 pm and 9 pm, on arrival (at 7.30 pm) notice said reception hours were 8 am to 8 pm and at reception I was told I was a late arrival - key was retrieved by person on counter from late arrival safe. 2 / after 2nd room service there was no hand towel or floor mat left in bathroom - seemed odd but this has happened before.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you found our location convenient and enjoyed a comfortable stay. We also appreciate you bringing the issues you experienced to our attention. We apologise for the confusion regarding reception hours and your arrival arrangements. We understand how this could have been frustrating and will review our guest communications to ensure they are clear and consistent. We are also sorry that housekeeping overlooked the hand towel and bath mat during servicing. This is certainly not the standard we aim to provide, and your feedback has been shared with the team to help prevent similar oversights in the future. Thank you again for your valued feedback. We hope to welcome you back for an even better experience next time. Warm regards, Ashleigh
