Nice, ce trap location.
Easy check in.
Heaps of character that you seem to only find in the Blue Moubtains.
Room was quite small and had to navigate stairs with a bag, but I can live with all that.
It’s an old building so it’s going to have character.
I would stay again no problem.

I’ve stayed here a few times now.
Always just what I need.
Easy to get to. Easy parking. Easy check in.
Bathrooms are relatively new. The hot water can take a minute or so to come through, but it comes through in the end.
