No frills, clean and everything worked. Solid pub grub too!

Our room had a cupboard with the internet hub in it that emitted a high pitched noise. Sorta got used to it. There was a noisy incident in an adjacent street that probably had nothing to do with the hotel.

9 / 10Outstanding·May 2026

Staff were amazing and very happy to accommodate my needs. The beds were very comfortable and the linen was fresh and clean and looked to be brand new. The showers were great. I had an amazing view of the bass Strait from my room and my room was nicely heated and warm. Free car parking was great too. Definitely recommended this property to those wanting to travel and who might be on a budget... I travelled for work and found it to be the perfect location

Lack of bathmat in the bathroom which I found slightly frustrating and I had to provide my own towel but I was contacted by the property well in advance so I came prepared
