I checked out a day early and the hotel surprised me with comfy beds, good quality linens, and reasonable prices. The rooms were clean and tidy, but the noise from other guests outside was a bit of a downside.

The service, from the bar to the bistro, was lackluster. Staff seemed rude and not interested in helping guests. They did try once to quiet down noisy guests but were unsuccessful.

The hotel is a nice spot, with clean and beautifully decorated rooms, offering good value for money. The service was friendly and professional, enhancing the overall experience. The location is highly convenient, though some rooms may feel dated compared to the refurbished ones. Dining options were limited, but Bernese Fries were enticing.

The Dolphin Room at Tea Gardens Hotel was just beautiful, very comfortable, and clean, offering a great value for money stay. The service was very friendly and accommodating, though finding staff after 5 pm was a bit tricky. The location was perfect, near the water and shops, with access to local attractions. Dining at Mumm's on the Myall was praised as VERY good, but with limited options during the week. Overall, a fabulous stay with some minor improvement areas.

The location at Tea Gardens Hotel was great, right near the water and shops, with access to all local attractions. Close to some fantastic national park hikes and beaches, it also offered a children's playground and the view of dolphins swimming by in the evening.
