WoW from start to finish I had a great experience. The staff member that checked me in was polite and very helpful, he showed me my room and made sure I was comfortable. The room had recently been renovated and was in excellent condition. The bathroom and living area were very clean and large, I’ve heard about swinging a cat around but I think you could swing a horse around these spaces. It was very quiet, I had expected some pub noises but couldn’t hear anything. Downstairs in the pub the staff in the bar and restaurant were very good at their jobs, the beer was cold and the food was very good. I had room 8. Negatives , could have a fridge, hairdryer, shampoo and conditioner. Wednesday night was poker night so was in my element.

There are very basic amenities, no wifi, no hand towels, or lift. Towels were not fresh and had an odour. The whole place is run down, eerie and neglected. Staff are very nice though.

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.

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

We stayed on a Thursday night having read reviews of it being an affordable place to sleep and good for price. Had a lovely meal downstairs before going up to our room to discover a strong smell of cigarettes. Opened the window to air it out and went to bed. At midnight woken by loud music from downstairs, closed window and made little difference. Cigarette smell returned so possibly smoking area just below our room. Music went on till about 2:30am and then the other guests trickled in laughing and chatting. For price had expected some noise and older amenities, but had not expected sound to that level.
