The hotel Does Not provide guests CarPark - this is a big problem during potentially busy time during dinner service time.All people using very limited car space on street . This inconvenience could be rectified by building available space near a liquor shop. My second comment- the hotel does Not have an escalator ! Or ramp for guest to go the second floor . Carry heavy bags and luggage up to narrow stair case is not easy !!!!

Overall a great hotel Needs a little updating Close to water The rooms are spacious Room services very good Unfortunately there is no furniture on balconies which is a shame. Not too many dinner options in town Must book the restaurant as no priority is given to patrons. Room service is great and very fast

The property is in a good location but is very tired. The specific room was even more tired, in need of general dusting throughout and did not have aircon in the bedroom.

There is no parking. You can park on the street close to the hotel or far from the hotel if all parking spaces close to the hotel are available. The statemen that a "Free Self-parking" available is a overstatement.

Response from Casey - Front Office Manager on 25 Feb 2024
Dear Ludwig, we appreciate your review. While we only have a small lot for on-site parking near our Sip'n'Save bottle shop, street parking nearby is indeed an option. The street parking is not ticketed, providing a free alternative for our guests. We apologise for any confusion regarding the "Free Self-parking" statement. Your feedback is valuable, and we hope you consider staying with us again!

The property was in a great location close to the water. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, even getting us dishes and cutlery so we could bring food to our room. The only meal we had was the buffet breakfast and it was not great, especially for the price of $25. It was very limited and half the items were empty when we arrived. We also found it frustrating that we had to walk across the street to check in and out.

The advert photo is deceiving. You think, by choice, that you are booking into a charming heritage hotel but find yourself over the road in a stereotypical motel. Very disappointing, as was the absolutely filthy deeply stained carpet and the layer of very long black hair over the bathroom floor.

The location was great. We stayed for 4 nights in Jan 2023 in a family room. The room was spacious enough for a family of 3 and it was clean. Staff were nice and helpful. We thought it was a 4 star hotel. I'd give it no more than 3. The room looked tired. The furniture was old. The hotel photos certainly look so much better than the actual room.
