Lovely old, well kept building. Everything was Ok but the price didn't reflect the quality or attention to detail. Would have been happy to have paid $350 a night but no more. Also it's a pokies joint...

Loved the history and architecture of such an old building. The dining menu was limited and food was disappointingly low quality for the price. Saw many examples of a lack of upkeep such as wires hanging from ceilings etc.
