The location was pretty handy. The room basic but for the money reasonable. The pub, staff and food were great. We had to pay $100 room key/damage deposit which we were not aware of until checking in. Would have been good to know prior.

the food and the pub attached were first rate the facilities in the room were nonexistent - a communal bathroom, no access for patrons with back issues i.e. disabled bathrooms - my wife had to call me to help her off the toilet, ramps for easy access to rooms, parking for guests not given a parking space reserved for their personal use, uneven road surface in car park. We have never before left a motel by 6.00 am because we didn't like the conditions - not even coffee

Heating, bed, linen, hot water etc are good. Non smoking is also good. Parking is good. Expedia indicated free wifi and check in time as 12noon. No wifi. Real check In time is 2pm. Restaurant closed early. Finding a place to get food in the night is difficult.

Close to high way to travel home, staff helpful, rooms needed an up grade, very old looking, was not a where you had to leave a $100 deposit for your room in case of damage, which was return on leaving but found it very inconvenient was not told when room was booked. As I had just come from John Hunter hospital after paying big money to see specialist this was not in my budget, why something was not said on booking the room I don’t know would not stay there again

Budget in every way …
Understandably, its budget accomodation so you get what you pay for. The fabric chair in the room was filthier than any roadside pick up. The bathroom (ladies) had such a terrible odour that I had to breathe through my mouth when i went in there. The guest kitchen could use infinite maintenance. I had booked for multiple nights and was so relieved when I left. On the plus side, the bottleshop is 20 seconds away - I needed it!

THe location was very close to our family in Shortland. Lovely bed. We didn't enjoy the dark grey walls and black carpet, but I see other rooms are painted a pleasant cream, so wé'll take a cream room next time.

The property was cheap and I got what I paid for The room was small and basic The shared bathroom was a test, the toilets looked like the cleaner had never cleaned the wall behind the door or behind the door since the building was built around 1960 the owner was a bit miffed that I mentioned this to her The hotel also demanded a $100 security deposit on arrival which was not disclosed in the Expedia bookin
