Disliked: Amenities
Air conditioning very hard to control so in the middle of winter the room was always cold. This was the second time we have stayed and have had the same problem with the air conditioning. Toilet paper was not replenished. Probably won’t stay here again.

Initially I wasn't sure about staying at the Imperial Hotel (as it's an actual hotel/restaurant/pub), but the accomodation out the back is quiet and convenient. It isn't particularly modern, butwas neat and tidy, and had all we needed. Will likely stay there again.

The motel was close to everything and overall it was good. The room was a good size, bed comfortable and the food at the pub was great. The airconditioner was set at its highest temperatur e and despite that, the room did not get over18 degrees. This was because there was a constant cold air flow under the door whch flowed through the room, under the bathroom door and through the vent )fan switched off). I suggest that the aircon be serviced and draft stoppers be put on both doors. This will also stop the cigarette smoke from coming in when people smoke outside the room.

Large spacious clean room with comfortable pillows and bed. Smart tv was great ! Aircon struggled to keep the room warm but it was a very cold day and night when we stayed. Lucky there were extra blankets that kept us warm.
