The Outback Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The Outback was quiet and clean. Staff was very nice and helpful when needed. The only suggestion we have is for the restaurant where it is a “cook your own meat” that you order from them. While it had a lot of individual grills, it didn’t have one dedicated to no fish or seafood so someone with a fatal allergy to fish/seafood couldn’t eat there. It was a shame because it looked good. Other than that, the whole place was lovely."
