staff friendly and very helpful. Did not have a bad experience.

Graham Australia

Good location for our family trip to East Gippsland area. Clean room with comfortable bed. Bonus for a quick visit to the nearby Airforce museum for some rare historic items.

Suman Australia

Easy after hours check-in. Rooms were modern and presentable.

Mhilo Australia

The room was very nicely renovated, clean and comfortable. I had dinner in the front restaurant and really enjoyed the food. This was a great option for me as I was working in Sale and needed a comfortable, well-priced hotel for one night.

Guy Australia

The facility was very nice, quick efficient check-in and having the restaurant and bar downstairs was a bonus.

Jeremy Australia

Very well presented and clean. Restaurant is great. Good location, close to lovely port and waterside park and other dining, not far to CBD.

Mark Australia

The room was beautiful. Bed was incredibly comfy. The room was the perfect size for us as we were only staying one night. The guy on the reception desk was funny and lovely even though we were a late night arrival! I hope to stay longer and be there for the Friday night live music night!

Ashleigh Australia

The ambience of an authentic Australiana Hotel made the stay special; the room was lovely and bathroom excellent. We were happy to have Netflix available as well. The restaurant, dinner menu and food was also very good.

Cornelia Australia

Rooms were adequately spacious, clean and well presented. Staff was accommodating and courteous.

Jan Sri Lanka

The staff in all areas of the hotel could not be more helpful. It was a lovely friendly place and the meal in the restaurant was top class
