I appreciate you get what you pay for but a 'hot' shower is mandatory. Everything else was good for the price.

A very comfortable, clean room. Set off the street so it was quiet. Take away menu from the hotel was delicious. Staff were very friendly. We wouldnt hesitate to return on our next stop over.

The location was pretty handy. The room basic but for the money reasonable. The pub, staff and food were great. We had to pay $100 room key/damage deposit which we were not aware of until checking in. Would have been good to know prior.
