Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's only advantage is its excellent location near the Tyto wetlands, with some intriguing local history to explore. The rooms are small, noisy, and unclean compared to other places I've stayed at during my road trip. Despite the good location, the constant noise from the nearby pub and highway can be bothersome, especially with trucks passing by throughout the day and night.
The hotel is conveniently located near the beautiful wetlands and the site of the Australian Italian Festival, offering easy access to everything Ingham has to offer. The rooms were a bit cramped for three people with luggage and were on the pricier side compared to other places I've stayed during my road trip, but they were clean and decent for a good night's rest. The service was satisfactory, and the proximity to local attractions was the highlight of my stay.
The hotel's location is definitely its strong suit, being central and close to everything Ingham has to offer. The rooms for our group of 9 people were on the smaller side and felt a bit 'tired' for the price, especially during our seven-day stay. The service was good overall, with pleasant housekeeping and a nice happy hour. Unfortunately, dining options were limited as there was no availability. The facilities were decent with everything we needed, but not exceptional.
