We won't be back to stay but we will return for the restaurant
Pros:

We liked the convenience of the restaurant and the adult entertainment (pokies) and where the hotel was situated by countdown and the main streeet

Cons:

We did not like the bed it was uncomfortable, carpet was dirty and the shower door did not shut. Please knock before trying to enter the room so glad I locked the door.

Reasonable value for money.
Pros:

Booked last minute and was initially put off by the fact it adjoined the pub, but the room was clean, warm and bed was comfortable. And there wasn’t much noise in the night. Overall good value for the price.

Cons:

People in the neighbouring rooms left before 5am and the vehicle lights shone through the curtains and woke me up.

It is alright for a one night stay if you do not mind budget.
Pros:

You could have a meal or a drink at the bar there if need be. They provided cups, plates, etc.

Cons:

The beds need replacing as we could feel the springs in the bed and woke with sore backs. The hot water must get turned off at a certain time as it took a very long time to get hot. We could not get the sound on the TV in the morning and when we had sound on at night we could not turn it up any louder to what it was set at. They did not give us any milk for our coffee or tea.
