It's an older hotel but with modernisation, it's not creaky. A big dining room kitchen for shared use. Eat as much cereal, toast with vegemite, honey or jam, tea and coffee as you like. Their words! The rooms are cleans with a basin, a TV that works , comfy beds and an A/c that works by pushing one button.

The property was nice, but the smell of the room was unbearable. I guess someone left the window open and let the rain in which stunk the carpet out other than that place was quite pleasant. Thank you

The room was spacious and as described on the site. I was there on a Saturday night the band was loud downstairs but I was aware that might be the case. It's a pub with live music. Staff courteous.

The staff were very helpful during my 5 night stay. Facilities and extras that were provided like breakfast, showers, lounge area were all more than satisfactory for my needs. The room was spacious for one person. The single bed was very comfortable. The wide variety of eating options within 500 metres was a positive.
