Disapointing.
Pros:

The location was handy, but all other aspects of the hotel were poor. The photos advertising the inn and the room we selected at time of booking was far nicer than the actual room we had. The shared shower faciltities were good enough.

Cons:

The food in the hotel (chicken parma) was awful, so dry and tasteless and an oddly bowl shaped piece of schnitzel. The room was woeful, with historic facilities and extremely thin windows considering the proximity to the highway. Room was not as described or pictured in the listing.

Overall, a nice place to stay. Was suitable for our requirements.
Pros:

The appearance of the hotel in general was quite pleasant and the staff were polite and friendly when we arrived. We received our key and went to the room. Didn't have much interaction with the staff for the duration of the stay due to time commitments for events we were attending. The size of the room was quite spacious and the beds were quite comfy especially after a long day. Also the added bonus of having Netflix and other movie channels available free was quite handy. Unfortunately we didn't get to try the food, as we ate on the way to and from our event due to time restrictions.

Cons:

Unfortunately the negative things we discovered in the room and in the ground floor toilets, the shower head in the room and in the bathroom located upstairs in the hallway next to our room appeared old and antique looking and it took several attempts to get a suitable hot water flow and the pressure from them was poor especially the one in the bedroom to the extent my Daughter ended up having a cold shower. Also the lid of the toilet seat in the room was broken and the toilets downstairs although we didn't actually use them, appeared quite run down and in poor condition. The urinals were stained and appeared rusted and corrosion on the metal surfaces. Also we understood that there was a bar downstairs which was all good, however we weren't aware that there was going to be live bands playing on the Friday and Saturday nights and due to the event we were attending at Bathurst, we were having to leave early in the morning and were arriving back late in the evenings and were looking forward to a much needed sleep after a long drive. Due to the loud music, it was difficult to get to sleep as it travels upwards throughout the hotel. If it was possible to install some effective sound proofing to reduce the noise level upstairs in the rooms, then that would help.

The location is great and the staff friendly. Great budget option
Pros:

The staff was very friendly, the food was great and the bar was very good.

Cons:

It was a particularly hot day when we stayed and the rooms do not have air conditioning. We really struggled to fall asleep and also found a couple of spiders and small bugs on our beds which scared the kids a bit. There was a patch near the toilet which was always wet and we realised there was some leakage.
