Heather
The only issue was the room had french doors & no windows, so it was very stuffy on a hot humid night. And too much light due to no curtains.
dannye Owen
2nd time visit and still as good and even better. Room was good and even though a 36 degree day was comfortable. Good bed and toiletries. Good service at bar and food. Very extensive menu and quality meals. Location best in town.
mick
Clean room and amenities. Room was rather hot and could do with some air conditioning.
Barry
Great place for an overnight stay between Sydney and Brisbane
Liz
Without A/C the room was very breezy with the ceiling fan which was quiet. Common kitchen area & balconies were nice. A bit deceiving was the room ads-noticed it was a \"shared bathroom\" (which I would not have booked) then I saw a room that didn't have this description & I booked believing it has a bathroom. Please make every room clear. However, they were beautiful and clean (just redone). A lovely stay : )
Vladimir
Was reasonably close to the exit from Highway and in a quiet location near freshwater. I just wanted to get as far away from Brisbane as possible and closure of checking in at 10 pm suited me better.
Michael
Great country pub, in a beautiful country town. Only drawback was no air conditioning in the room we stayed in.
Marilyn

Room was generous in size. Communal bathroom was clean and tidy.
Nishadi
We stayed one night at this place. The room was simple but worth the money spent, offering great value. The bar and food options were a nice touch, making everything easy and convenient. While the bathrooms are shared, they were clean and well-maintained, so it wasn’t an issue.
The room we stayed in was next to the balcony, where some guests were gathered, so there was a bit of noise even after 10 PM. Additionally, the balcony lights shone directly into our room through the window, which could be improved for better comfort.
Overall, a good place for a short stay—comfortable.

Thankyou for our beautiful stay at your hotel over the christmas period. The room was comfortable and lovely, and the freshly updated bathrooms and amenties were fantastic. The food looked amazing and well priced. My only regret we couldn't stay longer. Beautiful main street and river to explore. Not far to Yamba for a beach swim.
Linda
Working so handy place to stay priced well
Carol

Great pub style night’s stay. Location and service is tops. Shared bathroom is very clean
Morgan
Rooms were spacious and comfortable, easy access to rooms and ammenities were clean and functional. Location was central to town and provided a good spot to meet locally with others. Would recommend to singles, couples and groups.
Jennifer
Clean, good food and atmosphere.

Terrific
Evan
Well maintained old pub but the refrigeration unit roared all night and the main road was noisy. Maybe they should have a quiet option!
David
Wonderful historic country pub, on river in centres of town. Friendly and helpful staff and great dining menu.
Verified traveler
Quaint and friendly stopover off the highway.
The Maclean Hotel is full of old world charm and was a great location to stay in the middle of town and on the river front. Our room, a Standard Queen was clean, comfortable and very affordable over a long weekend. The shared bathrooms are thoroughly modern and very clean. A guest laundry, kitchen with a fridge and a small dining/ lounge is provided on the accommodation level which is upstairs over the hotel below. (NB there is no lift - not a problem for me but could be an issue for others). We dined in the hotel and the meals were affordable and delicious. Staff were courteous and very helpful.
I have only have 2 suggestions- a bedside lamp and the addition of drapes to the window to reduce the early morning sun. I would strongly recommend a visit to the Maclean Hotel.

No ac clean public bathroom facilities

I only stayed one night, but it was a good experience. The rooms are in the pub and there are shared facilities. Everything was very clean and neat and felt quite safe. Check-in was pretty casual and smooth.
It's an older building and the rooms are basic, with the usual mini bar etc., the single beds were neat and clean. No AC, but I found that the fan was enough. No complaints here.

Staff were lovely. Was all very clean

Didn’t realise it would have communal bathrooms. Should have thought about it as it is a 150 year old hotel.
It was fine we adapted and thought it was an interesting little twist to make out road trip more memorable.

Simple lodgings but certainly up to par, the only issue I found was the hot water in the shared bathroom was very slow to heat and barely got more than luke warm but the location had incredible views of the river, fair rates, and a great menu at the attached restaurant.
Amit
Room was very small and bed was uncomfortable. Good we were only in for one night.
Adrian
I am 6 foot 5 inches and yes I should have read the description better but a single bunk bed was very uncomfortable In a small room with no aircon, I went downstairs for dinner after I checked in and had a shower ( in a share bathroom) I ordered there weekly special which was a rub eye on the bone. I was using the toilet for the next day and a half!!! I will not be in a hurry to go back there at all
Christine
The property was so clean and neat. Staff helpful and assisting. Plenty of provisions provided.
Kai
Proximity to middle of town is excellent. Great pub below, not too noisy which was surprising.
The mattresses were pretty awful though. Actually, I don't think I have been stabbed by as many springs ever before! In all seriousness, we thoroughly enjoyed the hotel except the mattresses.

Over priced but shared bathroom modern and clean. Basic shared kitchenette. Clean linen on bunk beds. Despite non-smoking room everything smelt smoky. Woke up to someone smoking outside the room. Sink in room faulty.

Kerry
The was dingy and smelt terrible. There was a pedestal fan for air flow. Window wouldn’t open. I realise that we stayed in peak holiday time, however $140 pn was overpriced.
Carey
Great place to stay friendly place in a little town by the river . Good food and good beer .
Verified traveler
This is an old pub so in consideration of that they have basic pub room accommodation rooms were clean had 1 fan per room no a/c shared bathroom once again not modern but clean and useable communal room with tv fridge table and chairs lounge and tea coffee cereal supplied $200 for 2 nights for 4 people yes definitely value for money and would stay again

Food in dining room was excellent, facilities for the price were fine

Don't bother staying here. It's ancient. The door room doesn't close. (room10) . It's noisy, above the bar. Doors slam or don't close at all. Room 10 above the bar and at the front got all the noise. Have barely slept. Road sweeper at 4.30 am. And in July it's freezing. Definitely not a family room or hotel. Won't be staying again.

Midweek stay at Maclean Hotel
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay until noisy patrons kept us awake talking and laughing loudly in common area until 3am
As all your staff have departed for the night you have a serious problem with control of these noisy guests
We would love to stay again but would not take the risk of this problem occurring again. .

AWESOME
love the food
David
first experience of backpackers situation
Because the scheduled accommodation was so bad I ended up looking for accommodation at Maclean hotel. It turned out to be a bunk bed in a small wooden room with no windows and 5 other guys apparently asleep even though karaoke was booming downstairs. When I opened the door the room was hot and stuffy and pitch black. There was no way I could stay there. I got a refund and with no alternatives left ended up sleeping in the car at an all night garage.

Pub with drunks
Smelly old rooms with shared bathrooms and common area. A strange man was in the ladies toilet and that really scared my friends mum
Verified traveler
Clean room - free internet doesnt connect in room
Friendly old pub. But 'free wifi' is not really true as such bad service u cant connect in your room. Also no cold tap available in our room - only hot. Plus ' breakfast included' was misleading. Did not include meal in dining room but lf serve cereal and toast in common room.
Verified traveler
Not fancy, very good. We got a good deal through lastminute. We would definitely stay again.

Nice spot
Nice week-end away

Overpriced really
Booked a room for 2 adults and 2 children, showed up on the weekend to find we were getting a room with 2 bunk beds, changed room for a room with one double bed. Felt it was way overpriced for a room with just a bed in it with no other facilities in the room
