It is OK. I thought I was getting a higher-spec room than I evidently ordered. Staff were helpful.

The hotel itself is a part of Dargaville historic place. But the condition inside the room needs refurbishments.

Typical 1800's Country Town Pub. Showing wear and tear, but it was a quaint experience. The dining room is the best part of the hotel. Friendly local people. We had a quiet night and slept well in our room. The water is nice and hot, plus ability to boil a jug in the kitchenette.

Old hotel that has been adequately updated (shower was spotless) and comfortable bed. Sufficient overnight, but nothing fancy.

Love staying at these types of Hotels. A step back in time. Although sharing facilities, never ever a problem, sometimes the only couple there!

It was great to stay in a heritage 2 listed building but it comes with the down side of not being well maintained. If you like cheap and cheerful this was a good option.

Old and out dated not a problem but a coat of paint in the rooms would have made a huge difference and airing the rooms out would have been nice. The smell in the rooms were horrible. Bed was comfortable though.

The hotel is very old and needs quite a lot of maintenance. There is no room service. In the five days we stayed the rooms were not cleaned and if we were lucky we got a clean towel, a small container of shampoo and a small cake of soap. The hotel is under new management and I believe that they will do their best to make improvements. The food in the restaurant was above average

Beautiful place, very outdated needs to be updated. Always when checking the room i noticed it hadn't been properly cleaned. Rubbish still in the bin and room not vacuumed the bedding seemed as if it wasn't changed from previous guest use. Bathrooms and toilets coulf do with a deep clean as the state of them where in poor condition.

Noise, poor bathroom facilities, very, very tired. Not even a fan in extremely hot weather. Kitchen pretty horrid. But generally, clean, and very pleasant staff. Friday and Saturday nights especially noisy

The hotel has a creepy atmosphere, very old and definitely not well maintained. Pretty low hygiene standards. There were old blueberries rotting in the sink of my room, dirty and wet towels in the cabinet under the sink, lots of dust in the corner of the room and around the bed, the toilets were disgusting with a terrible smell and the curtains in the shower seemed not to have ever been washed. The hallway is dark with squeaky floors. I would not stay again.
