"Bad experience"

3.0

Nothing, everything dirty, used, the sheets were badly worn out, used, broken beds, … In the bathroom you can’t wash yourself since you need to hold pipe open with one hand and wash with the other. Outside around also very dirty, old, worn out. People sleeping in the car on the parking behind the house, close to the (dirty) pool. We were 8 together in one room all of us very disappointed 😢 Christian (employee) was the only nice “thing”

The location is very handy to everywhere

The facilities in the hotel is too old and the bunker is too low when you sit up your head will touch on the wood of the upper bunker

"Would absolutely recommend."

8.0

It was a pleasant overnight stay. As i was travelling through. The staff and other travellers were respectful. The facilities were excellent. Everything was easy to navigate and find. I will be recommending this stay to any travellers going through Port Macquarie.

The day I arrived was a hot humid day. I was surprised that there wasn't an air-conditioner anywhere on the premises. Lots of fans. Other than that it was a very nice stop in my journey.

Proximité des lieux de randonnée

Cuisine mal tenue (éviers pleins de déchets alimentaires, plaques de cuisson défaillantes, pas de place disponible dans le frigo, aucun espace pour des blocs réfrigérants), bruit de la rue (situation au croisement de 2 axes routiers)
