Comfy and welcoming

A couple of nights to relax after long driving days. The room wasn't quite ready as they'd been so busy but reception staff were excellent in getting it sorted quickly and offered a complimentary drink in the bar while I waited. The room was spacious and well appointed (could do with a couple of comfy chairs - only one in there so someone would have to sit on the bed). Bed was firm and suited my taste. Bathroom a little worn but clean and had ample toiletries, towels, etc. - lovely hot shower! Parking was at a premium if you needed it to be near your room but there was plenty not too far away. The bistro gives a good discount to hotel guests and makes great food. The young French lady who served at the bar, took food orders and delivered them was brilliant and I'm sorry I didn't get her name but I did tell the manager.

We were upstairs when we shouldn't have been. Due to me having a disabled daughter she had trouble climbing stairs. No internet at all. No microwave & breakfast bowls at least. Very very noisy. So disappointing all round. Won't be back!

We had the large room for a family. The size and price for the room was great however the room smelt a lot like body odour, especially the queen sized bed. The bed sheets and bathroom were clean. It would be good if they supplied a new sponge in kitchen as it appeared to be really old and some dish washing detergent as we had to go out and buy some.

This was the second time we stayed at the Opal Inn. The room was not as nice as the first time but we were able to check in early. No natural light in the room as the window was boarded up. Huge gum tree outside the room that was full of cockatoos from 4.30am; big mess all over the car. Bistro was excellent with a free drink and 15% off the meal.
