I had a lovely stay at this hotel, right on the beach and close to all the little shops in Lorne. The views from my room were absolutely stunning, and I appreciated the spacious layout. However, the air conditioning didn't cool well, which made my nights a bit uncomfortable. The service was hit or miss—while some staff were friendly, others didn't seem very accommodating when I needed help.
