Took my $$ on a double booking and ignored all requests for a refund
Pros:

Have loved our previous stays here on way to SE

Cons:

The fact that due to a "computer/new owner glitch" my overnight stay was double booked (AND PRE PAID FOR!!😡) along with several others according to the stressed receptionist, I had to travel a further 60kms down the road at night to find accommodation.... then , when I tried to sort out a refund, being ABSOLUTELY GHOSTED & IGNORED by the property. So disappointed, and of course I can no longer give this property good reviews, and will not stay here again

Booking.com stuff up...
Pros:

Staff were great even though they were out in a difficult situation by Booking.com

Cons:

The fact Booking.com got the booking so wrong! We deserve a refund. We did not stay due to the room not having an ensuite as published. Not the first time this has happened at this hotel. Staff were great, but due to this oversight my partner could not use the downstairs shared facilities being a disability pensioner. Please send the the details to obtain a refund.

Bad outweighs the good sadly.
Pros:

Great to walk downstairs for a great meal. Good location, easy to find. Water pressure in the shower is amazing

Cons:

Noisy at its on the highway. Rooms are very small and the ensuite is tiny. Had a two bedroom villa on Kangaroo Isalnd for a the same price and three times the room.

Good price, good rooms, good food, and good staff.
Pros:

I stayed here for the weekend while competing in the Hillclimb Championships at The Bend track. This hotel is cheaper than the one at the track but still in a convenient location, only 5 mins drive. Some rooms have a nice view of the river, and my room was comfortable with good air conditioning. I really enjoyed my stay, and the staff are also friendly and very helpful. I ate at the restaurant twice and I thought the schnitzel is really good, and so is the garlic bread. The view from the restaurant is nice.

Cons:

The rooms don't have a microwave or cutlery/crockery, however there is a communal area which has these things and a large fridge so I managed. According to signs in the communal area, the fridge is supposed to have glass bottles of water refilled daily by the hotel which guests can help themselves to. These were not present the entire weekend, and I had to ask the front bar to refill my water bottle. I didn't really like the pizza at the restaurant much though their other food is good.

Somewhere to sleep, not much more.
Pros:

The restaurant has good food, been there multiple times.

Cons:

Price was on the upper end for a small room with communal bathroom. Communal bathroom was fairly basic, small and pretty rugged.
