This hotel was fine for what it was a cheap room with a king size bed which was really comfortable. Very tired room though, very small and a bit old fashioned. The air-conditioning light illuminated the room making it hard to sleep. One night stay is definitely maximum.

Old but clean

Room and bathroom facilities are spotlessly clean but could do with an upgrade. Perfect location for activities around the Bendigo CBD.
