The Hotel is geared towards the Tradie clientele. The room we stayed in had mould on the ceiling, dirty windows, stank of smoke and cheap deodoriser. The hotel and rooms look like they were decorated in the 90's and haven't had any update since. This place is ok if you want a posh Crack Den but i wouldnt stay here again or recommend it.

Was a good location for our golf trip. Hotel was nice, and room was clean. My room was above the smokers corner so difficult to have the window open. Hotel served food in the eveniing, but no breakfast facility available and no other optiion close by. Not a problem for us as we got breakfast at the golf courses we went to, but maybe a consideration for others

Cheap and cheerful

You get what you pay for I suppose. Staff all very friendly. Lively bar and restaurant downstairs if that’s your thing. My room was on the top floor above where the smokers hang out all day from the bar. Thankfully far enough away not to be bothered. Room was ok. Very tired. Stained carpet and cigarette butts all over the balcony. Floorboards unbelievably squeaky. Felt bad for my neighbours every time I moved in the room. Could hear people in next room talking, not loudly. There are only about 4 parking spaces and staff seem to use them. I got in there one out of 4 nights. Free parking in nearby streets and it’s a safe neighbourhood. I didn’t complain about anything. It was just me on the trip and have stayed in worse places. Wi-Fi worked well and the bed and bathroom were clean. Wouldn’t take my family here though.

It was January ...

Lots of smiling helpful faces, even though I turned up after 11:30 pm. Bed was comfortable, floorboards were so creaky, I was scared I'd wake people up in the wee small hours : )

Stayed for 2 nights. Hotel looks nice from the outside, parking isn’t great just space for 5 cars so it’s just your luck if you manage to get a space. The room was nice enough just basic, little storage space. Floors creaked a lot and you could hear folk in adjacent rooms, light bulbs were out in the bathroom and there was no extractor fan so when using the shower it got steamy quickly, they did have lovely toiletries which I always appreciate, they give plenty tea and coffee in the room and you can always get extra if needed. The room itself was really hot no air conditioning but was able to make use of the small balcony and kept the door open slightly overnight. The staff were nice, check in was alright no issues. There is a lovely bar and restaurant and they have pool table and darts. A nice place to stay and it was fairly comfortable.

Reception is secured by a keypad, which we were not informed of code,and bell.which we tried more than twice with no response but eventually allowed entry by another customer. Bar patrons were smoking next to reception which was disgusting as we had to stand in a smoky atmosphere before we got entry. On entry again bell to summon receptionist and again a wait. Advertised car parking. Very limited 6 spaces for 25 plus rooms and know 1 was taken by staff but suspect more were staff so really no parking for patrons. Room was clean and tidy and bed clean and comfortable but toilet seat was not secure and slid all over the place. Only mirror was in bathroom which caused problems especially with my wife as she uses a mirror most mornings to dry and style hair and apply makeup which I think would apply to most women. We decided to choose the=is hotel as it was here that we met and definetely not up to the high standard of The Struan Hotel as it was then. Summing up were very disappointed as we could have paid the same for a hotel with breakfast included and better kept facilities and more hospitable.
