Please do not stay here. Price horrible for the conditions of the room. Pictures show the front of establishment (pub area) which looks quiet nice, however the back area where the actual rooms are looks like a drug-house. The place is called "hotel" but it's actually a motel, as it says in the front of the room's building. In addition, the mold/smell inside the room and hallways was digusting at best. My partner and i could not sleep as our throat hurt from pungent mold smell. All night the walls were wet and sweating. Not to mention the poor quality of the bed and the "furniture" in the room. For the love of god just go somewhere else to sleep one night. I would consider my car instead.

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

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
