Air conditioning very hard to control so in the middle of winter the room was always cold. This was the second time we have stayed and have had the same problem with the air conditioning. Toilet paper was not replenished. Probably won’t stay here again.

Initially I wasn't sure about staying at the Imperial Hotel (as it's an actual hotel/restaurant/pub), but the accomodation out the back is quiet and convenient. It isn't particularly modern, butwas neat and tidy, and had all we needed. Will likely stay there again.

The motel was close to everything and overall it was good. The room was a good size, bed comfortable and the food at the pub was great. The airconditioner was set at its highest temperatur e and despite that, the room did not get over18 degrees. This was because there was a constant cold air flow under the door whch flowed through the room, under the bathroom door and through the vent )fan switched off). I suggest that the aircon be serviced and draft stoppers be put on both doors. This will also stop the cigarette smoke from coming in when people smoke outside the room.

Large spacious clean room with comfortable pillows and bed. Smart tv was great ! Aircon struggled to keep the room warm but it was a very cold day and night when we stayed. Lucky there were extra blankets that kept us warm.

Our sheets were not changed at all, we stayed for 5 nights. The dishes were not cleaned on our second last day, I don’t think the vacuum was run through the place while we were staying there. The toilet was not cleaned. There were no forks in the pantry, only spoons and knives.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean and looked like a typical motel room that may have undergone renovations. Location is great. My biggest complaint is the overpowering smell from the carpet. Not because the carpet was dirty but quite the opposite. It had that chemical smell associated with brand new carpet. Was way too strong and affected my ability to fall asleep as that’s all I could smell. The beds could do with an upgrade - felt like it sagged to the middle and was very squeaky every time I turned,
