we stayed 3 nights & I must say that the bed & pillows were verrrrrrrrrrrrry comfortable & clean as was the rest of the room & ensuite. The staff were extremely friendly but it was a little noisy occasionly as it is near a train line. This in itself didn't bother us & we would stay there again if needed. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who would like to stay in a clean environment at a budget price. meals were available at the hotel at reasonable prices but we didn't use this service.

Comfortable room but too noisy

Pros: The position in town was very handy to main highway, CBD and shopping. The price per night was very reasonable. The room was very clean.
Cons: The rooms are positioned right opposite the open bars and the noise was intolerable. Even felt unsafe at times. Not the place to stay with PTSD.
Location: The location of the hotel is very good, being close to shopping, the highway and the central business district.
Although quite small, the room was renovated and comfortable. The bathroom however was not finished and the toilet water ran continuously. The appliances were adequate.

Definitely not what the photos show

This hotel was nothing like the pictures. Upon arrival we had no idea where to check in and were finally served at the bar and told to see the manager who was behind the second door right down the back of the bistro room behind what looked like a dead door. We knocked on the door and the manager asked if we had a booking. I told him my name and he said oh yes you're in room 5 but then asked if I had confirmation of the booking.... i tried getting it up on my phone whilst he stood right next to me looking at my phone the whole time which I think is quite rude. There was no service in the area so I couldn't get the email up. He ended up saying oh well I guess I'll believe you. Upon entering the room it was incredibly small with only the absolute bare minimum i.e. a bed shower toilet very very small tv and bar fridge. There were no extra blankets and only two pillows. The bed was suprisingly very comfortable though. There was also no phone coverage. While the hotel wasn't horrible it definitely wasn't what was described on the website and was a bit overpriced for what it was.

Just an overnighter

Place is a little noises, trains and truck and its part of the pub. Could do with a refresh, but it's clean, pub meals are good.

Basic pub and older rooms but for my purposes OK

Cons: Having a table and chair in the room would be a big improvement.
Older rooms, basic facilities but for what I wanted was adequate. Meals at the pub were good. Represents value for money compared to other motels My stay was for the V8 racing so not a lot of time spent in the room Staff were friendly and service was great. Convenient to have the facilities of the pub right outside the room.
