The hotel was centrally, located very close to everything within walking distance. The room was on the smaller side and the finishing a little bit dated. Otherwise pretty much functional and suitable for a one night stay. there was plenty of parking.

Great location, as we wanted a relaxing stop and a drink (so no driving). The facilities are probably in need of an update in some areas, though this didn't detract from our stay.

Everything was fine. It is an oldish motel style building in the center of town. The staff was friendly & the room was clean. There was fresh milk in the fridge. It is close to eating places for dinner and breakfast. We had a nice walk along the river which is also close by. There is also a good Visitor Center in Port Fairy. Would stay here again.
