Great location on main road, good water pressure & hot. Good restaurant on site.

A bit of road noise early as things get going.

Usually when i book some "cheaper hotel" in a smaller towns (or even in bigger cities), i usually dont expect much - i expect creacky doors and crooked windows. But this one here actually looked nice. Room was tidy, clean, smelled clean, bathroom was great, water in the shower ran normally (not like the ones where 50% of shower holes are full of limescale and squirts the water to every other direction except where it supposed to squirt). Staff was friendly and responsive as well when asked for a extra hour to check out. So...i got nothing bad to say, i would stay in this hotel again if i happen to drive by.

Super clean. The cleanest motel I've ever stayed in. Everything was well maintained. Really enjoyed my stay. Although given the smallest room in the building, with roof view, but it's very comfy. I love it.

Bit short on bathroom amenities: only been given small tubes of 1x shampoo, 1x conditioner, 1x shower gel, and 1x small soap. Normally it is at least 2 each being 2 person occupancy. And no lift, which is quiet fine, but 3 flights of stairs from the car park is quite an exercise.

On a road trip and we booked this in for a night's stay on Christmas eve. Motel seemed to have been painted recently which gave it a nice fresh look. Staff were very friendly who offered to heat up our pizza. Bed was very soft. Nice pleasant little room.

Uncomfy bed (too soft) and pillows. Just not my personal liking. We were awaken by fire alarm at 7am on Christmas Day and had to evacuate and then had to rush back to hit the road.

... tiny room was snug rather than offputting, though suitable only for a mid-sized sole traveller with minimal luggage. Biscuits, tea, coffee, sugar, milk were replaced daily: sincerely appreciated. As was being allowed to check-in a little early; thank you!!

warnings re. exhaust fan in bathroom (threatening a $2000 fine if guests trigger the alarm) seem excessive; surely, if the fire alarm is triggered because of poor design, the onus remains with the hotel, not the guest

Friendly and helpful staff. Decent pillows, thick towels, comfortable bed, hot shower & enough toiletries. It's probably the most comfortable stay I've had anywhere in a long time

If I had to be picky.. Clearly they've had issues with smoke alarms, given the signs (yelling) at you to ensure the exhaust fan is on and not to cook in the room. The signs could reduce in number. However, understand that common sense isn't that common when there is financial impact.

Good location, lots of places to eat around the tavern. Walking distance to the river, Coles and a good place to stay in close proximity to other areas like lakes entrance, Metung and bruthen. Staff were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful when asked for information

Could have used a second towel hanger in the bathroom. Room was designed for 2 people but only had a place for one wet towel. Was the only thing that needed to be considered

Able to book at short notice. Clean and quiet Olivia was helpful and sympathetic when I missed the bus and came in very late Close to the station

I was late and lonely. Apple Maps sent me to entirely the wrong cemetery on foot in the heat next day. But none of that was your fault. I would’ve liked to know where to voti say tanks in the morning- couldn’t find an open door. It looks like you’re a pokies venue. That makes me sad, so hopefully I was wrong about that.

Very clean and neat room. Value for money and located in the centre of Bairnsdale. Bathroom was brand new and the room had been newly painted.

Pillows were flat and there was only three. Difficult to find reception and the key didn’t open the exterior doors easily. The shower floor tiles need a good clean. There are three flights of stairs from the car park so if you have health issues use the front door of the hotel.

Good old refurbished pub in a great location. Once there though, you don't really need to leave as there is a bar and great restaurant downstairs. Our room was a good size and the renovated bathroom did the job.

Make sure you're travelling light. When we were advised that there are no lifts and all rooms are on the first floor, they forgot to mention that the carpark is underground. Which means you've got two stories of stairs to drag your bags up. Certainly doable, but just be aware.
