Check-in was dependent on how busy staff were and we had to wait a further hour and a half after the stated time. Very conveniently located in the CBD, basic but comfortable pub-style accommodation and surprisingly quiet considering it's central hub location

The accommodation is at the top of a hotel/pub which was busy upon arrival. Staff were helpful with check in. Rooms clean, compact. Dodgy power socket in the wall which came off completely when unplugging my device. Average spot for an overnight stay.

Great location and a good pub!
Great location, accomodating staff. I knew there was no elevator, so can't complain about that! Pub was great for happy hour and dinner. Bathroom was smallish and reminded me of being in an RV, but knew about that too. All in all a good place to stay for a couple of days.
