“Nice staff, bad patrons”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 April 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The Banjo Paterson Inn is basically a pub with motel style rooms attached. The first impressions we had were good, the place is clean enough albeit starting to look a bit tired and the staff seemed friendly. Later we explored the hotel downstairs and it quickly became apparent that it's the local nightspot. The clientelle were suitably loud and there appeared to be little attention to the responsible service of alcohol. We were advised to park our verhicle in the secure "lock up" area, I suppose that should've sent alarm bells ringing. Anyway a rowdy night ensued listening to the drunken patrons dowstairs in the bar, but we expected a bit of noise so no problem there. The next morning I went to check on my vehicle and to my disgust someone had vandalised it. So much for their secure lock-up. I can only assume that one of the drunken morons caused the damage whilst in their stupified state. The manager was apologetic but no offer of restitution (eg a free night's accomodation) was offered.

Room Tip: I'd stay somewhere else

“Didn't sleep over, but had a great beer.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2010

Stopped by at the restaurant to baste the local brew, Mount Kosciuszko Pale Ale, that is brewed on the ground floor of the reception. I had schooner on tap that was quite good and was pleasantly impressed, as they state it has quite a nice "fruity hoppy finish". We also bought a carton of 12, but must admit that I found the tap much better than the bottles.

“Great view”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 March 2008

We had 2 nights including breakfast. OH needs wheelchair access. Helpful receptionist described facilities in detail over phone. No actual disabled rooms but we had flat access from carpark to room and bathroom access was adequate. Had to get to breakfast room by exiting through carpark & going outside & around corner to front of hotel. Several steps up to restaurant section were more of a problem but very helpful staff. We had a balcony with a lovely view across parkland to Lake Jindabyne. We also had a kitchenette, although the cutlery & crockery had some pieces missing eg only one mug. We were happy to wash up our own dishes but there was no dishwashing liquid provided either. TV reception was inconsistent with a couple of channels virtually unwatchable. Also the TV was very small for the size of the room & hard to see easily from the bed.The weather was chilly but the inside of the hotel was very well heated & we didn't need the individual heating in the room. We didn't eat dinner in the restaurant. The hotel was quiet & the staff were friendly & helpful. The bed was comfortable. We would stay again.

“Good Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2006

people found this review helpful

Stayed over night, Easter Sunday. Convenient location with parking provided. The entrance and hallways are a little the worse for wear, which makes one a bit nervous as you walk in.
The room was clean and comfortable. The beds were reasonably comfortable. Firm but not too hard.
The room was a little bit stuffy at first (not smelly) but the windows open, and with a bit of fresh air it was fine. The room was very warm and cosy without additional heating. It was a cold night with reasonably heavy frost. It was also quiet. TV worked just fine and you get a fridge and bench space for food preparation. Bathroom was clean and fresh. Tap wasn't attached properly, but nothing that interfered with safe usage. In other respects the bathroom standard was a pleasant surprise.

We got complimentary breakfast as part of the deal. Cereal, toast, juice and milk and coffee. Fairly basic but perfectly adequate.
This place isn't a palace, but it's good value for the price and we'd have no hesitation to stay there again.
