The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with a nice bathroom but lacks sufficient seating for self-help continental breakfast. The service provided, including housekeeping and laundry, is efficient. The location is very convenient, being very close to Hornsby Railway station. The dining experience, which includes award-winning local meats, is included but may not be ideal for everyone due to limited breakfast options. Overall, the hotel provides a great value for money stay.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The attached bathroom was very clean, and the self-help continental breakfast was a nice touch. However, there was insufficient seating for breakfast. The hotel's location near the beer garden and close to transport was convenient, but coming back down to the restaurant could be a bit tiresome.
