Great and would stay again.
Pros:

It wasn't too hard to find and in a great location. Easy walk to shops and banks.
Jessie checked us in and took us to our room. He was very friendly and helpful.
We met up with family and had dinner at the hotel. Food was good and staff polite and friendly.

Cons:

The only thing I found that the bed was a bit hard for me.

For attending a course at John Hunter Hospital and not spending a fortune, it was good.
Pros:

The hotel was clean and the bathroom was clean. It was a shared bathroom, and while the amenities were possibly a little dated, they worked, were clean, not busy. It was a great location in terms of being able to access John Hunter Hospital. The food at the hotel was fairly priced and solid pub food - nice - nothing fancy.Worked for me - I was hungry!

Cons:

It would have been good to have off street parking, as the bulk of the area is timed parking, making things a bit tricky when carrying stuff inside. For me personally, only staying one night, it wasn;t really a major issue, but it could become a problem if you were there for longer.

Cute pub stay
Pros:

Great location, nice pub, cute rooms, comfy bed, quiet. Clean enough. Air conditioning!!

Cons:

Very old bathrooms and security isn’t great. Open access from the pub and all unoccupied rooms are left open (to air them, I believe) but this also means someone could easily hide in there. Call me paranoid but that’s life for a solo female traveller.
