7.0

Friendly and accommodating staff. (Apart from the chef, who couldn’t do a chicken burger instead of beef , but offering chicken schnitzel? odd… )

− Flexibility with orders by the chef. Advertised as a remote casino, but 0nly pokie machines available. Hardly a “casino” …

It was fantastic. We stayed in the underground king room and had the best sleep. I loved it. We even stayed an extra night

8.0

Location, right in the town centre. Large room, very comfortable.

− The room door was difficult to open. We had to push hard to open it. The bathroom door had a large crack in it. It had been covered with a small pease of plywood on either side.

Position was good

− A bit old and in need of renovation, also felt unsafe as there was a fight on the deck outside my room at 4:30am

Guest review

5.0

Great position in the middle of town. Great that you had food and drink options within the accommodation, or you could walk across the road for other options. Room was large, which was good and clean.

− Decor dated, could be upgraded.Bed was hard, could use an underlay.
