Parking for overnight guests should have priority over drinkers and family dinners . Especially weekends . Second ...under the wall table had coffee stains splattered on the wall and the ice was nearly falling out of the freezer . Staff were ok....some unfriendly and unhelpful. One lady there delivered chips and coffee to our room 8. Thankyou very much. The price for the room was more than what it should be .

Our room didn't have hot water. We were moved to another room but the staff weren't very helpful. We have stayed at this property before and had a good stay. Some sort of compensation for the inconvenience may have been nice from the staff. Hopefully this trip doesn't deter us from returning again next time we visit Bathurst.

This was a good place to stay for one night only. The location was excellent for us as we went for a soccer game.
The room itself was decent and fairly clean but the cutlery which was provided was filthy and definitely has not been washed.
The bed and pillows definitely needs to be replaced as they are not comfortable at all. The mattress feels like it has been there for 100 years. There's no foam in it all all.

Small carpark right next to club. Which isn’t a problem in of itself.
But there seemed to be a lot of movement past midnight in the carpark with all the rooms cozied up with just enough space for one car space per room at the rear of the hotel.

As a single traveler it suits me.
