Pros:

The rooms were comfortable and clean with all the basics like toiletries, tea bags etc The pub is nice with a great meal and nice atmosphere.

Cons:

There was quite a lot of noise at night, bumping and banging. Some sort of equipment noise. Also more tea bags and milk would help.

Basic hotel room in a great location.
Pros:

The hotel is in a good location. The on-site parking is also very convenient.

Cons:

Access was not the easiest. There was also heavy road construction outside my window all night. This would have been known, as it was major works that shut Geelong Rd, but was not communicated in advance, which was a little frustrating.

Very clean rooms and good value for money but would not stay more than one night
Pros:

Very close to our friends house

Cons:

Small rooms sometimes felt claustrophobic
The shower had two bottles of liquid that weren’t very full and we didn’t know which one was soap and which one washed our hair
