I was breaking my journey from Gosford.
Pros:

Conveniently close to Hamilton Railway Station. Plenty of shops to browse nearby. Bed very comfortable.

Cons:

Found a couple of weevils on the floor in my room. The fridge area needed a good vacuuming. I was in room 3.
Also no teabags on top of the fridge so I looked behind the fridge and there were teabags fallen behind the fridge. That’s when I observed the dust behind and under the fridge. Also no milk supplied for tea/coffee. I suggest a small container for holding sachets of tea/coffee. Only stairs to get to rooms. Apart from all of that I did find the room cosy.

Pros:

The location, the room, the staff.

Cons:

Oh, this is easy. The shower is the worst I've ever experienced in a hotel or motel. The water was either scalding or freezing - but nothing in the middle. Added to that, the pressure went on and off every minute. There was no shelf or bench to put a toiletry bag and nowhere to hang a towel in the shower. Annnd...the men's bathroom door made a sound like a gunshot when it banged closed. This was heard regularly during the night. Sort these issues out, and it will be big-smile emojis all round next time.

Pros:

The pub itself is good - The beer is spot on & the staff friendly & attentive.

Cons:

The accommodation is bad - Rooms could be alot cleaner & bathroom facilities are basic & dirty.
Was awoken at 2am by a screaming argument between 2 trailer trash & At $70 pn Shouldn't have been surprised but I stayed there 5yrs ago & room was clean & a great night sleep but has gone down hill...Not a place I'd bring kids to stay.

Pros:

Location opposite Hamilton train station and has free rear parking. Every food option within 5 minutes walk. Price is unbeatable for the area.
Rooms are decent size and beds are comfortable.

Cons:

Miss not having TV. But with all sports available down stairs on massive screens its not really a problem for sports fans.
