These are standard 3 star hotel rooms with allocated parking space. Air con not great though did the job after a while. Was on my own for the first night though felt quite safe there. Room was very clean and beds were comfy. The location is excellent close to train station, main street with most things a short walk. The accommodation is steps from the hotel proper which is really nice - warm and cosy. They sell usual pub food which was really good as well as wood fired pizza. Great for a short stay in Bowral!
