Loved the historic nature of the hotel. The restoration is amazing. A good blend of the old with modern comforts. Great service was provided throughout the hotel.

Loved the upgrade, thanks Craig’s Royal Hotel. Artwork displayed on walls etc was very interesting and relevant ( Norman Lindsay’s cat pictures) I also loved the pictures of Hoppers General Store which had native animals featured very whimsically. The Continental breakfast was generous and I couldn’t finish the cooked breakfast I had on day two. The location was very convenient for walking between various Foto Biennale events. Service was both friendly and professional.
