Top East Bay Hotel Reviews

Ceilidh Country Lodge

8/10 Good

"Clean room with lots of parking. Comfortable bed. Unfortunately no elevator."

Auberge Gisele's Inn

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful property! We had a very spacious room with a king room and a seating and kitchen area with a pull out sofa. We even had a real wood burning fireplace! We loved that. Would return if we were in the area."

The Lakes at Ben Eoin Golf Club and Resort

8/10 Good

"The golf course was in fantastic conditions, the room was outdated and could use a refresh. The staff and the restaurant were great."

Travels Inn Victoria County

8/10 Good

"We needed to check in later than the usual hours. Staff was extremely helpful, and even walked us to our room, which we hadn't been able to find in the dark. Beautiful view from the windows."

The Simon Hotel Sydney

8/10 Good

"Great stay, and clean room. Check in and out was hassle free and the room rate was on point for the size of the room. The only thing was that we had to pay for parking and the last time we stayed at this hotel the parking was included. Other than that great place!!"

Harbourview Inn, SureStay Collection by Best Western

10/10 Excellent

"Great view of the harbor. No elevator, though."

Holiday Inn Sydney - Waterfront by IHG

8/10 Good

"The view from our room was amazing and could see the largest Fiddle ever. The beds were very comfortable. However, the shower head provided little function and needed to be replaced or increase water pressure. The breakfast was very good and our server, Carol was friendly and efficient. It is best to park by the front door and not the two lower parking lots as getting your luggage in can be troublesome. Friendly front deck. We enjoyed our stay as right out the front door you can walk to several nice restaurants, shops and boardwalk."

Highland Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Super quick and easy check in. The place is a little dated, but the bathroom had obviously been redone in recent years and it was clean and convenient. 11/10 in terms of quality compared to the price. Would happily stay here again before spending more money on a newer place."
