The hotel was having major renovations so there was a lot of disruptions. My room was clean, bathroom, water pressure, hot water, a/c & TV reception all top class. The shared kitchen, bathrooms & lounge areas in the accommodation section need work, but I think that will be part of the overall renos. Had a very nice & affordable meal in the bistro & the staff were very friendly & helpful. Overall I recommend staying & will return when the renos are completed.

Unfortunate circumstance

Air conditioning was massively leaking and unfortunately due to the timing being Friday late afternoon a technician was unable to attend. However the staff were very kind in providing assistance and also gave a little compensation for the inconvenience caused.

No room fridge, kettle or microwave. Outside room passage light shone through window above bedroom door making sleep difficult. Noisy traffic as the hotel is on a main road. Easy parking at the back which was a bonus. Restaurant food and drinks were reasonable value for money.

Parking is only available at back of Hotel which is not accessible before 10am and after 10pm on Sunday nights. It is a fair distance to walk around the back of hotel to car if downstairs is closed to back car park. Bad weather would also be challenging in this instance. Also two flights of stairs to rooms might be challenging to people with mobility issues. Loud music till around midnight downstairs on Friday and Saturday nights can clearly be heard upstairs in Room 11.

Shared bathroom is in very poor conditions, unclean and dirty. The bath doesn't look like it has been cleaned for ages. I found the stairs leading up to the rooms quite unsafe, steep, especially for carrying luggage up or down them. Smoking customers on balcony were also noisy and cigarette smoke wafting into my room. Dining in the Hotel, however was lovely. Its a shame upstairs currently does not reflect the lovely modern decor etc as the bar, dining areas.

Room doesn't look like the pictures and was also tiny - the standard suite had barely enough space for a small double bed (no room for even a small bedside table on one side). No door on bathroom, so no privacy (it's nice to have a bit when using the toilet, even if you are with your partner!) Room was very dated and shabby (marks on wall, paint peeling off), as were the corridors Definitely the worst hotel I've stayed in during our month in Australia, though not the cheapest Only positive was staff were friendly

Terrible experience!

Unfortunately the photos don't tell the truth. When we arrived we were accommodated in an extremely small room, which only had room for a double bed. In the room just a bed, a chair and a ceiling fan. At the same time, I went to complain, showing the photos that were in my reservation, which were completely different from the room in which my wife and I were accommodated. We were put in another room, whose bathroom smelled really bad. Very old building, with cracked walls, with a falling ceiling, really a terrible experience.

Oh God. Where do I start. 2 glasses of wine $23 during happy hour. When I asked, told too late to change anything. Dinner was delicious. Room under construction and worker's on the front verandah at 6am. Parking not private as advertised. Other pubs provide wardrobes and a bar fridge, not here. Add says tea and coffee provided in the kitchen, no, not even a clean glass or cup on offer. Won't be back
