Room very clean. Only downfall is being situated above a bar where they played loud music. It could be just the night we stayed. But, for a traveller who needs to wake up early it’s not ideal.

Suited our needs as a bed for the night. Room was right above the bar which was a bit noisy with music and pool tables considering there was only 3 or 4 people in the bar. Disappointed the restaurant wasn't open Sunday morning for breakfast, but found a suitable place up the road.

Very central in the Waitara town. Downside was the noise coming from the bar below. This has been the case on the 2 occasions we have stayed at the hotel. We just accept that this is part of the deal!

Leo

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Would give 0 stars if I could. The room and facilities were generally dirty—dust everywhere, cups not cleaned, and a strange smell coming from the toilet. The soap had already been opened before I even checked in. The first room I was given had an AC that wouldn’t turn on, and although I was moved to another room, the AC there barely worked either. It wasn’t blowing air properly, wasn’t cooling the room, and kept flashing an error light indicating the filter needed replacing. Overall, the place is poorly maintained and the customer service is almost nonexistent. Feels like a complete scam.

Adequate for a night or 2

Very old hotel in the middle of a small town. Quite dated….carpets in poor condition, especially in the hallways. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom fine. Good restaurant attached. TV didn’t work, but a tech came in and fixed it. Noisy bar downstairs, but didn’t go too late.
