Great staff, value and location. Sadly a few minor things to note:
The shower barely got hot enough, You couldnt close the bathroom louvres so it got quite cold it there and the queen side bed is pretty well worn out and sags in the middle.

Cheap and cheerful is how I would sum up. It is an old building and facilities are very basic, but adequate for our needs overnighting as we toured up the coast. Near to restaurants and the main shopping centre in town, so very convenient. Staff were friendly and although we checked in late, they made sure we had easy after hours access.

I like staying at the Coral Sands because of its convenient
location. The staff are lovely and super helpful.
I think the parking is a bit tricky but that is not an easy fix so if it takes me 3 goes to reverse out then it takes that many.
