Room was clean, decor a tad dated though. No reception present on arrival but they were very prompt to check us in remotely.
Great location, plenty of parking, very quiet, large rooms with big smart TV. Some more quilts on bed and extra pillows woukd have been nice.
Air con worked very well.
The breakfast was make yourself and some bacon, tomato’s and cheese in the fridge woukd have been nice but there aa eggs, milk, juice, fruit, cereal etc

Hotel is more like a backpackers. Very old and not well cleaned. Used cotton ear buds on the floor and tampon strings on floor in the bathroom. Bed was very sift, two singles pushed together.Check in was easy and receptionist pleasant. Location was central.

Great value
Perfect overnight stay on my way north - very clean, comfortable and attractive room with new bathroom in an old pub in the centre of town. Lots of vintage charm. Easy checkin, great location near major shops, plenty of parking.

This is a budget lodging and is quirky in a nice way. It has its own parking lot. Our only complaint was the street noise. Bring your earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

Loved the mid century style of the furnishings in this place. Very cool and funky retro vibe. Felt a bit like living in the past which was a very nice experience. Great service from the person who checked me in. She was friendly and gave me good recommendations on place to grab some lunch. My only wish would be for a more comfortable bed and that is just a personal preference.

Glorified backpackers hostel
Access, if door is closed, is via a mobile phone number, and up 2/3 flights of stairs. Hotel has quirky decor/furnishings. Room was large with comfortable bed. Help yourself breakfast of cereals, toasts, eggs, juice.
Cleanliness was average - and could do with a spring clean.

Location was central, close to shops and wineries. Beds were terrible, had to change rooms after the first night because it was so bad, next one wasn't much better. Overall, the place was ok, but sleeping there wasn't pleasant. The fridge hummed through the night, light from the hallway shone through the door and bed was painfully uncomfortable.
