Very good - staff friendly & particularly helpful.
Not so good - horrible smell in stairs & corridor. Not sure what it was, smelled like a cross between stale wee/vomit & disinfectant.
I liked the quietness of the room despite being above a bar.. Would have liked more information in the room about facilities to make tea or coffee. Parking was excellent..
Too much noise with the music going and then people coming up stairs after 12 continuing that noise with yelling slamming doors ect won't stay again on a Sat night that's for sure
Clean serviceable accomodation within a short drive or 25 min walk or Newcastle Racecourse. Food was good, staff were friendly and efficient. Will return.

It was too out of the way for my liking.A very small shopping centre nearby with supermarket.No other dining/eating places apart from Bistro which did have nice food.I caught an Uber which was easy but no local buses etc.Served my purposes but wouldnt use it again.
Super easy. I booked a room with twin beds that ended up as a double, I lived with it. Only one bathroom working which could have been an issue if all guests wanted to use simultaneously

Very close to bowls club. Trivia night on Tuesday.
Saw a cockroach across the hallway and a fight out front of hotel across the road.
Was told it was rated 8.2 out of 10 but wouldn’t give the accommodation more than a 6. Room smelled musty upon entry and curtains and carpet needed a good air and clean. Bathroom was modern but small and how hard is it to install some hooks for your new and worn clothes and your towel. And don’t start me on the fact that NO fridge or kettle was in the room. Plenty of room for both and barely a $500 spend would have made this a much better experience. Had to ask for bowls and cutlery and tea and coffee but no instant was available. And just be warned if you’re a senior that all their rooms are up a steep flight of stairs and the car park is very small before you’re out parked on a Main Street. Did I mention the pub is situated between a busy road and a rail line. Oh, and there were either rats or possums scratching above our ceiling most of the 3 night booking so that was entertaining. So yes, 6 was a high rating now thinking back. But the bed was very comfy and the food down below was excellent and the bar service was great. But a little bit of expense and effort from them would help have a much more enjoyable stay. Sorry guys, but Definitely not a honeymoon destination.

Great place
Great place very comfortable and quite. No noise from the bars up stairs while in the room. No noise from the other rooms. Recommend for a quite night
Did not stay at this hotel even though we paid for it due to the lack of cleaning the toilet was covered in poo including the seat and the hole room was dirty out side was empty grog cans and pee stains on concrete at door entrance
Shower was so dirty we bought thongs to wear so we didn’t have to stand on the tiles. The shower head was falling out of the wall.
The walls ok the bedroom were covered in dust
The tv was scratched to hell. Bed was very average,
Convenient and economic stay, good food downstairs, a little noisy being above pub but expected that, small room but enough, just strong chemical smell from cleaning that affected wife's allergies.
The property is clean and tidy, staff are friendly food is very good, it is convenient for an overnight stay, room and bathroom very small i felt a little claustrophobic but for the price i cant complain, our stay was pleasant.
Clean and tidy, modern fitout.
Hot water isn’t great keeps fluctuating every other minute I’m guessing when someone else in the building uses it.
Very strong carpet deodorant smell in the whole place, took some getting used to.
Stayed there twice now & enjoyed my stay,accomodation very tidy,food great,staff exceptional

Unfortunately on arriving found main light in room did not work. While staff made a note, they were unable to get it fixed till next day.
Ensuite in room very small. Unable to close sliding door properly.
Staff and restaurant very good. Great food.
Sunnyside Tavern had an excellent restaurant. Quality food with big portions. It is located within a short walk of McDonell Jones Stadium and other sporting grounds including the International Hockey Centre. All staff were friendly and helpful. Although located in an industrial area we didn't hear any noise during our 3 nights there.

Dirty sheets,limited to one coffee ,stairs,parking
We had 2 rooms booked.
Room1 - The toilet paper roll holder was broken. 1 of the towel provided was dirty. There was an insect in the bulb holder within the bathroom. No tissues were provided. The room looked quite dated.
Room 2 - Water pressure from the shower was very slow. The bedsheet was not cleaned. There were hairs on the bed.
