Fun place to stay for a quick getaway.
Pros:

The original features in the building, especially in the breakfast room. Having access to the guest lounge was lovely after a great dinner in the bar.

Cons:

An optional extra blanket would have been a good idea. Everything else was great.

Great location, central to everything we wanted to see and do.
Pros:

We stayed two nights, the first night some machinery was left operating and was disturbing to my sleep. Breakfast was continental, nothing special. Fresh fruit and yoghurt would have been appreciated.

Cons:

Noise on the first evening. Continental breakfast could be expanded to include fruit and yoghurt, maybe trim milk too.

Best stay elsewhere which is a shame.
Pros:

The location was good and the Art Deco architecture was pleasant.

Cons:

The carpet was smelly and there was no atmosphere or interaction from the staff.

If we come your way again, we'll likely come to you.
Pros:

Atmosphere of the old hotel. Friendly, helpful staff/management. Having dinner on site instead of having to go out, tho some more imaginative food would have been welcome.

Cons:

Breakfast - some more variety perhaps? e.g. brown bread, vegemite or marmite, fresh fruit, changing types of stewed fruit. Parking - very convenient being just outside, but we were a bit nervous leaving the car overnight on the main road.
Tiny bathroom and not much way to house toilet bags, etc.
