Cheap stay, amenities were clean, only downside was a stain on the bottom sheet, fans only could do with air cons in the rooms as on a hot day the room would be very hot, Staff were friendly Close to other places to eat if you don’t like the menu at the pub

Good value - I heard the pub music till midnight and some traffic noise in the morning so not the quietest location. Staff were great and pub is nice place to hang out. There is nothing in the room other than a bed and sink.

We arrived a day later than planned due to the storms. Upon being shown to our room, we were told about the painting that was occurring throughout our stay. Unfortunately due to medical reasons, we could not stay with the painting occurring. We asked for a refund and the staff were very kind and actioned this request. The refund was gratefully received 1 week later.

Motorbike ok.

Nice atmosphere and location. Just shame no fan operational. Little bit hot and stuffy until open windows and door for a while. Some old fashion entertainment.

The staff were amazing, but no air conditioning upstairs where the rooms were and was like a sauna it was a 30* degree day plus our fan in our room didn’t work properly it was just on slow motion so it was very uncomfortable trying to get ready to go downstairs to the pub to a function We couldn’t sleep because it was very uncomfortable way to hot Plus soap should be provided in the bathroom for washing hands

Didn't stay for the night as we could not find a close parking space. Main problem is with Wotif, who did not give detailed specifics; culminating in a non-refund. The General Roberts Hotel looked good, from the photos, which is why we chose it for a one night stay. Will not use Wotif again. When I phoned the Hotel to cancel the room, staff were friendly and understanding. Above ratings based on photos and what the property looked like as we drove nearby.

It was advertised as having parking. There was no air conditioning, fridge and the windows didn’t open and the fan had a massive layer of dust so you couldn’t use it. The shower was not clean. However the staff were wonderful and friendly.

Decent stay for the price. The bed was kind of stiff so not the most comfortable. There were some cleanliness issues in the room, there was a terrible smell in the room and the cushions on the bed were stained. The shared bathrooms were clean though. The room faced the main road with no AC so it was loud in the room if you wanted to have a breeze, otherwise the room was very stuffy. Staff was nice, and the food at the pub was good! Worth it for the price but could be slightly cleaner.
