    Shower made a horrible high pitched scream with any pressure, so not very relaxing. Wifi didn't connect/ kept dropping out, so getting any work done was impossible

    Clean, well appointed room, great space

    The only issue was the guests that arrived back at the hotel at 2am and 4am that came talking loudly and thundering up the stairs. They did go straight to their rooms and made no more noise so it wasn’t too bad.

    The location was good with a Woolies and cafes across the road. The room was tidy and well presented. Staff were lovely.

    Common areas in ground level were in desperate need some fresh air. It was very very stuffy and smelled a bit like cigarettes.

    Excellent location. Onsite parking. The room was clean and tidy. Room gad all basic utilities and some more. Nice strong showers and comfortable bed and pillow. I would stay again but at that price range, if booking ahead, other places may be more value for money.

    Was confusing upon arrival on how to get into the room and a little uncomfortable to walk into the bar among people dancing and asking for a room.

    Rooms were amazing, clean and comfortable.

    Keep your expectations in check, it is a pub. But it is value for money and a comfortable and clean place to stay. Also it was quiet.

    Freshly renovated clean and tidy, very friendly staff.

    None.

    Stayed 3 nights, 4 of us, Room No. 14, our room is separate from other rooms, it was quiet and we loved it! Our room has a wall in between beds so the AC can’t perform optimally because of the wall. Our room was good size, has coffees, teas, sugar, glasses, wine glasses, 4 cups, 4 teaspoons, ironing board, an iron, extra blanket, it was clean, toiletries got topped up daily, our room got daily service too = clean towels daily plus Netflix on TV too! Good size bathroom. Top of shower glass and shower door were clean. I did check because we hang our towels on them. More towel rail would be great to hang all 4 towels. Everyone was helpful: the guy at the Pub showed us the hotel ‘entrance’ / door, the Reception (Sadie - hope I spelled her name right) was friendly and helpful, the housekeepers (a senior lady and a young lady) are polite, friendly and helpful. We got extra pillows but since there were already extra pillows on our beds, we returned them back to the housekeeper (a senior lady). Got complimentary 4 welcome drinks (but we forgot about them 😬), complimentary 4 bottles of water and 2 small carton of milk, topped up daily too!! Location: close to Woolies, Coles, Aldi and Pharmacy, as well as fast food joints, Asian grocery, cafes and restaurants! We booked about 11 days in advance so the rate was higher. If we booked on the D day, it would be $81 cheaper/night 🤭 No lifts, but we already aware of this, it’s not an issue at all. I personally not a fan of the ‘Entrance’ / door, mainly because of the cigarette smoke. Patrons smoke at the back of the Pub which is where the ‘Entrance’ / door is. One afternoon, we came back and we could smell cigarette smoke along the ‘Entrance’ hallway, lucky our room (all rooms) is upstairs. Thank you for making our stay enjoyable and comfortable. Highly recommended.
