Fantastic. Have already booked again in a months time.
Pros:

The location and comfort of this Hotel is fantastic. The facilities are exceptional and you can eat at the Bistro in the hotel as well. The best mattresses in Sydney. Always get a good nights sleep and wake up refreshed.

Cons:

The stairs can be a bit rough at the end of the day after a day of walking and running.

This hotel is centrally located and an easy drive to the mountains and campgrounds.
Pros:

The beds were comfy. The shower was great. Little extras like the cold glasses in the fridge were nice. The one big bed and the two twin sized ones as opposed to a second big bed for my kids were great. They've clearly worked to make an old hotel upgraded and nice and it has some nice touches.

Cons:

There is no soundproofing whatsoever. I could hear everything that went on outside. The hotel is near a large road so you can hear all the traffic and the big trucks. They had a band in the restaurant that night and while the band was great, there was no sleeping until they were done. I may as well have been in the restaurant. After, there were several people talking and laughing into the night somewhere in the vicinity of my room and it was finally silent around 5:30a. When I arrived to the hotel, the room had a funny smell to it. We thought maybe cleaning solution or marijuana. It got stronger but was gone when we returned from dinner. So it was coming in somehow.
