Smelly drains and broken TV's
Pros:

Friendly staff, good location.

Cons:

We booked through booking.com. On arrival we were asked to pay. We had paid, on-line on booking. The staff were adamant we had not paid even though we agreed on the booking number and we presented recipts from the booking agency and our bank and were booked in. The manager was called and we had to wait for him to find payment? This caused unnecessary worry prior to being allowed to stay.

The first room for my elderly parents had very bad odors coming from the drain in the ensuite. It took an hour for maint to investigate as the maintenence team were in a "meeting" at 6pm and then to report all rooms smelled the same.
Not true.
After we ran boiling water down the drain the smell lessened.
No shower for them as they were put off.
The television did not work and the staff did not care at all.
We were given another room key late that night but too late to move my 85 yo parents.

My point is we booked in good faith and should be given the benefit of the doubt.

Lying to customers will only damage your reputation.

Oldish hotel but comfortable. Helpful friendly staff.
Pros:

It is oldish but comfortable. The room was spacious and easily accessed from the car park. There is a hose for washing your car - much appreciated when on a road trip.

Great location
Pros:

The location is great. It is close to downtown and we were able to walk to shops and restaurants. For the price paid I expected a more upscale hotel. The front desk staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Nice comfortable stay close to town
Pros:

Hotel is in a good central location in the town. A little away from the "main" streets so was still nice and quiet. Reasonable options available within a short walking distance away for food and drink. The hotel is not new, it has obviously been around for a long time but was in a reasonably good quality.

Cons:

Parking can be a bit of a challenge with a limited number of spaces. That said the hotel does have some overflow options.

Average
Pros:

Very good location and nice food in the restaurant with vibrant staff

Cons:

The room was quite average, like a 1970’s motel room with a funny baby carport in front of the front door that only a Bambino could park in
