Clean room, but rusty shower rail and damaged blinds in bedroom, but overall good value for the money. Good pub with excellent food. Another oub where you would get a discount for being a menber but only staying for a couple of nights its not worth the hassle. Plenty of parking at the rear.

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.

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.

This room was lovely with a huge bathroom with a separate toilet. It was a pleasant surprise. It was my first time staying above a pub and it was not too noisy. I would not recommend it if travelling with kids as there were some interesting people wandering around the hallways in the morning but great for adults. The room was very clean.

Room was extremely small, designed for a single bed only. i Pulled bed in front of door to get around it. Situated this side of gents shower. What a noise of water pipes. I think it’s a workers pub. The hotel itself for meals, drinks etc and staff is fantastic. Front of house would make you believe the rooms would be decent. Photos do not show a true picture.

Rooms are right above a pub and mini casino. There are live bands playing loud so check their schedule in case you need a quiet nights sleep.

Bathrooms are shared amongst all the rooms - no private bathrooms! Picture show nice new bathrooms but they must be the public ones downstairs for restaurant! They were not for guests upstairs staying the night. Very outdated, old carpet smell; small beds, broken trim, etc… it’s cheap for a reason- if you need a good nights sleep spend the extra and find something else.

All in all a pleasant stay. Beds were very comfortable and linen was fresh and clean.
Great lounge and kitchen facilities/adequate for travelers.
Cleanliness relates to state of doors and stairwell - to touch icky.
Cannot fault the staff. Unfortunately both our fan and air con weren’t working. We were moved to a similar room with no issues at all.
Other comments have noted noises but apart from some light highway noise (our room was on the front) we had a good night sleep.
Staff were brilliant. Parking out the back. Arrived to late for dinner but seemed very popular.

Parking is only available at back of Hotel which is not accessible before 10am and after 10pm on Sunday nights. It is a fair distance to walk around the back of hotel to car if downstairs is closed to back car park. Bad weather would also be challenging in this instance.
Also two flights of stairs to rooms might be challenging to people with mobility issues.
Loud music till around midnight downstairs on Friday and Saturday nights can clearly be heard upstairs in Room 11.

Shared bathroom is in very poor conditions, unclean and dirty. The bath doesn't look like it has been cleaned for ages. I found the stairs leading up to the rooms quite unsafe, steep, especially for carrying luggage up or down them. Smoking customers on balcony were also noisy and cigarette smoke wafting into my room.

Dining in the Hotel, however was lovely.

Its a shame upstairs currently does
not reflect the lovely modern decor etc as the bar, dining areas.
