Homely, welcoming, friendly, comfortable and very affordable.
Pros:

This unpretentious pit stop was a win for us and exceeded expectations. Andy and the team run a tight ship. The room was very comfortable, the restaurant menu was extensive, and the breakfast was great. Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Very good value too.

The friendly staff and excellent breakfasts made our stay a pleasant and enjoyable one.
Pros:

The breakfasts were very good. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The Bluebell Pub adjoining the hotel was good and I was able to watch my AFL footy team play live in the finals series.

Cons:

Some of the rooms are a little tired and while some have been refurbished, the finishing isn't the best.
The fridge in our room didn't work.
The hall carpets could use a good cleaning.

Value for money
Pros:

Pleasant staff particularly at the front desk. Breakfast was better than expected and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Breeding was a bit scratchy but not so much so that it hindered sleep.

Pros:

This was our third stay and we deliberately book the hotel for its location. Check in was simple. We dined in the bar both nights of our stay, and the food was good.

Cons:

Every time we went to reception, it was unstaffed; there wasn't even a bell and we had to go looking for assistance. Also the hotel seemed somewhat dingier than previous visits, the corridors were littered and the rooms tired.
