We had the standard room with ensuite. Room was clean n spacious however the shower really needs updating- there was a fallen tile n other tiles were in the danger of falling off the wall and the shower was really too narrow. I even bumped my head on the wall - just too small. Room is value for money except shower recess. Staff was helpful when we advised that the sheets were unclean. She gave us a freshly laundered set.

A quiet secure property with secure parking. Very good family reception in a traditional Aussie hotel. It had not been overly modernised and maintained a historic homage to the original service that an establishment of this type would provide in times past.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Receptionist was appalling blase, interested only in getting payment before even greeting me. The place needs a lot of work, separate toilet, separate shower room with blockout curtain as shower curtain. Slippery tiled floor. Nowhere to hang clothes in room. Sheets were short sheeted due to either poor detail or lack of sheets. The train line is about 30m from the building, so multiple train horn blasts during the evening/morning. (No warning) In my opinion ONLY, just give it a big miss.

The bed was comfy, however we did not have a microwave in our room. The rooms are not very soundproof either, I expected the train noise, but the noisy people in the room next door were awful.

Positives: Good wifi, large room, price. Slept well in the bed. Negatives: The "kitchen" lacked a fridge (freezer only for some reason), no cutlery (bring your own). Does have a microwave and toaster though. Unstaffed at published check-in time, so had to phone and wait ten minutes, apparently 2pm is no longer correct. Bathrooms are huge rooms but then have about the smallest actual shower cubicle I've encountered. With a strange lump under a rug, I finally got curious enough to lift it up to find a bit of rubbish was literally "swept under the rug" at some point. Interesting: It was a lovely old pub, I'd once considered buying something similar to turn into accommodation so was keen to check it out. Strangely, it felt half renovated, with classy furniture in places but then like they'd run out of funds and have things like bedside lamps on a nice table but without any power to actually enable them to work. I'd imagine that the more standard motel rooms downstairs are what earn the more positive reviews as the upstairs guest rooms have so much potential. I wanted to like it, but should have just paid a bit more to stay somewhere far better.

Cheap worked out at £22 per person so we were not expecting anymore than basic. Room clean but in need of refurbishment. The main building currently being refurbished so we stayed in an outside room. Adequate for our one night stay. Receptionist friendly and apologetic for the chaos Had a kettle & microwave which was helpful
