It was fun and a delightful building, lots of character but some unexpected issues.
Pros:

Location, heritage- it was a lovely example of gold rush period opulence and the staff were friendly

Cons:

Despite lots of hot water in the hand bacon, we couldn’t get the shower any warmer than tepid, meant for a quick in and out wash not a soak. The carpark usually associated with parking at the shamrock was under repair so it meant we had to find time limited on street parking or walk/drive a number of blokes to find another undercover car park venue.

Beautiful, comfortable, quiet, great location.
Pros:

The Hotel Shamrock is absolutely lovely. Very comfortable bed, beautifully renovated bathroom. Rooms are on the older side but that is the expectation with an old historic hotel. Great location, perfect for walking around town. Absolutely love it and would happily stay at The Shamrock again.

Cons:

Carpet in room was old and stained. Parking was unavailable due to car park renovations which is out of the hands of The Shamrock.
