The rooms at the Bluff are a good size with plenty of space to store your things. It's a slightly older buildiung so some of the fixtures are dated but they work fine and were nice and clean.

Can’t fault the property. However the guests (father and child) were talking loud enough to wake us up around 9:30 pm. Went to bed early after a long 4-1/2 hours drive. Then a man, not sure if this is the same man started a conversation around 9:55 pm. And this morning the same girl was making too much noise to wake us up at 7:30 am.can’t sleep anymore.

It would have been better if the bed was more comfortable, it would have been more comfortable on the floor. The shower was so tiny.

Nicely appointed studio room with all you could need (mini fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee/tea making facilities and supplies). Surprisingly quiet for a big hotel and a peak season stay. Only thing is the lack of proper black out curtains. Only blinds, which were insufficient to keep light out. So if you're a light sleeper and sensitive to this, a eye mask is essential. Handy parking directly behind the apartments. Be aware there are stairs and no lift to upper levels if you have mobility concerns.
