Ayr Hotel

A great old style country atmosphere. We had a lovely Indian meal next door.

Disappointed that there was no hot water in the morning for a shower.

A little unsafe for solo female travellers but not horrible. No demarcation on male and female toilets and no toilet paper or hand towels in female bathrooms. Shower not operational and not private. Hopefully renovations will help as lots of improvements look like they’ll be made soon

Rooms were clean and tidy. Basic but good.. pub was empty so just had a beer with publican

Friendly staff, Accomodating location was good.

Car parks

The key to the external door did not work and when my partner sought assistance from Troy he declined her entry, demanded the keys back and proceeded to call the police. My partner is an elderly Aboriginal and SSI woman who wanted to access our room at a reasonable hour (before 10pm) after working hard all evening with family to prepare for a family event. She presented with her elderly sister and grandchild and a teenage granddaughter and her boyfriend who came to assist when the keys didn’t work, all of whom explained to Troy that she was my partner. I was not there having travelled on to Townsville to take a relative home. When I asked Troy the next morning why he had declined my partner access he said ‘security’. He made no attempt to contact me. My partner was forced to flee and stay the night with relatives. This man is racist, homophobic and dishonest - he did not provide accomodation on the night of 24/3/23 and we declined to stay on the 2 nights planned thereafter and he has not refunded our payments as he said he would. We have enjoyed many visits to Ayr and stayed in very friendly motels and caravan parks in Ayr over many years. Visit Ayr, a lovely friendly town but do not stay at Ayr Hotel.
