Casablanca Inn on the Bay

Location: Frequently praised as "perfect," "ideal," and "central," with proximity to attractions, St. George Street, and tram access.

Beautiful room but the t.v. and shower need to come with instructions as they were both difficult to operate. You get coupons for a free martini daily at their Tini Martini Bar, which is located in their restaurant, Nero's. it was across the street from the room we stayed in which was the Secret Garden area. Very nice little area with an outside porch deck to our room, and steps to the outside garden area. Not real thrilled with the location of hotel itself, as it is a very busy area and not a lot of grass areas for our dogs to do their business. Our first day there we attempted to sit at the bar for our martini but there was only one seat, and the bartender told my boyfriend he couldn't stand. He was pretty rude, but the bartenders after him were really nice. We sat at a table and had our martinis which we did every day while there, but you actually have to see the hostess at the front entrance to the restaurant to get a sit at the bar which i thought was rather ridiculous. Most bars first come first serve and to have to be seated by a hostess made no sense to mee. They also give you a free standard breakfast every day, but we only had that on the day we left. It was very good as were all the martinis we had during our stay. Nice staff, except for that one bartender and I don't know what his name was either. Not sure if we will stay there again because the shower and t.v. were really a problem. Good parking though.

Bed and breakfast feel but private space. Courtyard common space was nice and cozy. Easy walking distance to shopping and dining. Breakfast voucher and drink voucher was a nice feature. Very quaint! Only bad part was figuring out where to park a little complicated but we eventually figured it out.
