Close proximity to highway was an issue in terms of noise, but everything else was great with a toaster, kettle, microwave, comfortable bed and excellent Chinese restaurant in Kariong for takeaway dinner.

We requested a ground floor room as my wife has some mobility issues, The room was adequate, bed comfort fair. The bathroom, whilst clean, and with a good shower, overall appeared lacking in maintenance. Staff were friendly and helpful. Ground level room parking at the front to the property was rather tight, but the main car park at the rear is fine.
