I loved our room. It was bigger than what we stayed in last time. Our room came in with a microwave and fridge. The room was clean and the check in and check out process has always been easy
The staff member was pleasant but the room was grim and the bathroom worse. I didn't want to use the towels as they looked grey, frayed and so old. I don't think it's fair to continue to portray this place as a guesthouse when it's more of a place that would be a hostel or a tradies stop off. It either needs complete renovation or more accurate portrayal in advertising. It's not somewhere to use as a holiday guesthouse.
A few positives are that there's good parking, a Lidl over the road and it's about 15 minutes walk into town (more on the way back as it's uphill).
I wouldn't stay again and would have decided not to stay after seeing the bathroom if I hadn't been so tired.

Clean and comfortable room. The toilet for my room was down the corridor (shower was in the room) which I initially thought is a bit inconvenient, but it was for my use only and I never bumped into anyone in the corridor.
Parking was great. Check in straight forward. Room was a good size and quiet away from a busy road.
Not luxurious but fine for an overnight stay. Price good for the location.
