Pros:

Good location. Lots of character. Fair price. Easy parking. Some of the staff were very nice.

Cons:

Unfortunately we had a street side room and at night it seemed as though the traffic was driving through our room. Bed was quite hard. Wouldn't recommend the in-house restaurant

Convenient short stay for a low price
Pros:

Its location and on-site parking. The building has loads of character and having a nice restaurant onsite is also a bonus

Cons:

Some road noise late at night, some sounds from neighbouring rooms, the heater was slow to heat the room due to the high ceiling

Fabulous, warm, helpful and kind staff, awesome food.
Pros:

The hotel was so quaint, cosy and warm. We loved the aesthetic, the staff were lovely and it was a massive relief to have so many Gluten Free and Dairy Free options for my partner and I since we both have food restrictions! It was wonderful!

Cons:

Nothing. It was lovely.

Pros:

Great location, super friendly staff, great showers, quality beds and linen, warm room during winter, platypus tour ☺️, tea and coffee stations, eclectic furniture, super clean and modern bathroom

Cons:

The shower shot water all through bathroom, needs some kind of lip or curtain. Breakfast room provisions were fantastic but room itself a little grubby. We made it work!

Pros:

Great value historic hotel in the centre of Deloraine. Beautiful 120 year old building with all the quirks of this type of building. Friendly staff, good food in the restaurant and a basic breakfast thrown in. Ensuite room was comfortable but compact. Thank you for a great night.

Cons:

Nothing worth disliking.
