Poor service by evening staff

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 14 Feb 2023via mobile
Great service by barman but girls came on at 5 on Valentine’s Day were ordinary to say the least. Service was below average.
Advertised happy hour and made sure we had drinks 2 minutes before (charged full price) but didn’t see them again until we left “thirsty. Make sure you go when friendly day time staff are on.
Date of stay: February 2023

Cracking pub tucker in this joint. A quick trip to Tassie to visit family and for a Monday night this place excelled. Quality of food was a wonderful surprise and the very well priced. Guinness on tap was a bonus😜
Good selections of Tassie wines and sparkling from the region.

Stayed 2 nights. Very central. Good price. Lovely old
pub with rooms above bar and restaurant. Rooms small but beautifully renovated. Good ensuite. Bed very comfortable. Pillows linen and towels great quality. One small issue was our window was to an interior hall which had extremely bright lighting that shone straight through the blinds all night. Other than that perfect. Would definitely stay again (with eye shades)

The hotel has aspirations of service and quality that are truly well above what is delivered. I can not include the photos that I took, however suffice to say this was deeply disappointing. As an example- I checked in for two nights and was told ‘no rooms’ while I produced my prepaid reservation. They ‘found’ a room but I need to change in between nights. Neither ‘fully furnished’ room even had a chair! Both showers had the water pressure of a squirt gun. Save your money.

Room tip: Spend a few dollars and be safe

Can' say what the room was like as we never saw them.... Even though we had been in contact throughout our trip with regard to flight delays no-one was there to let us in (they had told us they would wait as they knew we were coming). Late at night, deserted street (apart from the hoons screeching around the block in their cars), 3 of us (aged between 65 and 70) with our suitcases were left on the street. We were told the next day that they were there "out the back" and didn't get any of our three phone calls (although we could hear the phone ringing from the street where we were stood).

I could almost hear the shrug of the shoulders when he (the bar Manager?) said they didn't get the calls. The owner did apologise and eventually (after many phone calls) we were refunded in full but the start of our holiday was totally spoilt.

Date of stay: March 2022
