Top Central Hotel Reviews

Ocean 7

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a great location with appropriate accommodation, highly recommend for close access to the boardwalk and beach!"

The Forum

8/10 Good

"Such a great proximity and helpful staff 24/7. Only thing I didn’t like was the parking spaces were small on one side of the hotel. Also if spaces taken up you needed to leave car keys with desk so they could park cars back to back. One time someone forgot to put their ticket in window and it took a while to locate car key."

The Coral Sands Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was perfectly clean. There was fresh - newish? - tile on the bathroom floor and walls, newish flooring in the room, and newish ceiling tile. The bed wasn’t great but was really fine. The microwave, tv were handy and the 2 mini fridges were evidently just cleaned. The window on the sea side (2 blocks down) opened wide with a good screen and great breeze. Our dog was welcomed by host and fellow guests - most of whom also had dogs. Front office staff — we met two shifts of staff - were very warm and friendly and helpful. However, first impression of front office was a tiny dingy hole - could be spruced up just to make you feel you arrived somewhere that in good shape. Also there were bags of trash at the foot of the guest stairs - would have been nice if they had been in trash cans or bins of some kind. Great that there was parking. Our car just fit but if you have a wider vehicle it wil be a tight squeeze. Overall, terrific value for money, we’d go back."

The Surf Club

8/10 Good

"It was fine for one night. But the room was SMALL and we found they had more of the same rooms available for close to $100 less than we paid. It was clean enough. No staff to speak of except for a remote dude talking to you from who knows where. It’s kinda feels like someone bought an old hotel and flipped it to make it look more modern?"
