Very central in the Waitara town. Downside was the noise coming from the bar below. This has been the case on the 2 occasions we have stayed at the hotel. We just accept that this is part of the deal!

Suited our needs as a bed for the night. Room was right above the bar which was a bit noisy with music and pool tables considering there was only 3 or 4 people in the bar. Disappointed the restaurant wasn't open Sunday morning for breakfast, but found a suitable place up the road.

Very old hotel in the middle of a small town. Quite dated….carpets in poor condition, especially in the hallways. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom fine. Good restaurant attached. TV didn’t work, but a tech came in and fixed it. Noisy bar downstairs, but didn’t go too late.

Good value. Clean fresh style, friendly phone calls on details, good breakfast at their cafe. Hadn't realised Waitara was such a pretty town, will stay again.

First impression, Is this the place I saw on the site!! Reception greeting not good. Big Carpet stains on all stairs and passage way. Bedroom, carpet stains and big tear in carpet, approx. 1 1/2 mtrs long - tripping hazard. Bathroom, Our beds Duvet looked like they had just been pulled out of the dryer and were very wrinkled, shower curtain had black mildew at base and specks above. washbasin had water stain where water could not drain. Tea/ coffee provided but no teaspoons or milk. Fridge on but drip tray filled to over flowing. We arrived on the Saturday and were told that the Hotel, restaurant for breakfast and dinner would be closed Sunday and Monday, hence no room service, clean towels etc. when I saw them on the Tuesday afternoon I asked if the room had been serviced they said "we are not allowed inside our room if we are not there" in which they doubled down when i said they could, when i told a employee that we had no towels for days only then did we receive them and they told us "we should've asked" but no one was there, the tea and coffee was finally replenished Aswell, the carpark was filthy and filled with glass and resembled a dump, we had to park on the street, we were exceedingly disappointed with our stay

Stayed in the Deluxe King Room from 14-16th February 2025. It is situated on the front corner of the building. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was awesome. HOWEVER......the air-conditioning was not doing ANYTHING to cool the room. The temperature was around 27/28 degrees for the duration of my stay. And this was even after a 'service' by a technician on the Saturday. Thank goodness a desk fan was supplied. I had to have it going on the highest speed on both nights I stayed and on the bedside table bedside me just to be able to sleep. The carpet in the room needs replacing as it is ripped quite badly by the bed. On my arrival I went to wash my hands in the bathroom only to find a clump of hair sitting in the hand basin. Even with the windows closed, the noise from the bar and street below was extremely loud on the Friday night. Not what you really want after a 4-5 hour drive! There is no lift in the building, so there was 3 short flights of stairs to climb. Not the best thing if you have a little difficulty ascending and descending stairs as I do. The carpet on the stairs needs either an extremely good clean or total replacement. It looks like white paint has been dropped on it and not in just the odd spot here and there. Customer and guest parking is available at the rear. It is appalling!! Broken concrete, the remains of broken bottles and a HUGE pile of rubbish - broken old beds, big blocks of broken concrete and goodness only knows what else.

Absolutely terrible. Check-in was slow, the carpets leading up to, and in, the room was filthy. Linen was clean and beds comfortable. Bathroom was very run down. The music from the hotel downstairs rang through the entire room for a good 5 hours. Anytime someone in the hotel ran water you heard it course through the pipes in your room. So noisy, so terrible that we checked out early.
