Not value for money
Very old decor. Old sheets. Hotel smelled of cooking oil. I bit more attention to cleaning would have been good, e.g. the exeplair duct in the bathroom was thick with grime. For this level of room I would have expected to pay $60 - $85, not $105.

Web site is totally out of date. Tried to book online twice, unsuccessful. Tried emailing with booking, only to get a ‘thank you for your email’ response. Tried phoning, no joy. Because the site and comments seemed ‘Heritage’ persevered and booked Xpedia. The hotel is rundown and tired but has the potential to be a great stopping off point enroute to the bike trails and points south. Needs to lift their game with overseas tourism picking up

Three times my food was stolen from the fridge. Not funny when working night shift and get in at 1am expecting to have a warm feed before bed only to find someone had already eaten it dispite having clearly labeled it. Nothing open in Geraldine at that hour!!

Charming
I recommend this traditional country pub. Lovely spacious room. Great bathroom. Friendly staff. Views. Shared balcony. Shared kitchen. I suggest you phone to confirm last minute bookings as the room I booked had been let between booking and when I got there.

You definitely get what you pay for here. I went for the cheapest option in their backpacker/hostel selection and ended up staying in a small building out the back, rather than in the main hotel. It was a bit dirty/dusty and I had to sweep the floor myself, but it was a safe place to stay with a lock, comfy bed, and basic utilities. The pub next door was very rowdy at night though. I also didn't interact with staff at all except for when I arrived, which was a little confusing since I didn't know the pub was also the check-in desk. Overall it was fine but I probably wouldn't stay again, not even for the price of being the cheapest room in Geraldine.

I guess for what we paid it was ok. Typical old style pub accom. Rooms very basic. Jug didn’t work, was replaced. Bathroom could have been cleaner, dust on skirt boards, fan made awful noise, No iron, only saying this as we travelled for a wedding. Asked for a receipt at end and fella didn’t seem to know what I was talking about. Got there in the end.

Vulgar manager treats customers like rubbish.
Pretty vulgar manager. He wanted to charge us twice because he couldn't find the booking we made through hotels.com. The guy was vulgar with us, swearing and blaming the platform, complaining he didn't receive any money out of it, despite I was showing him the booking and the charges on our bank account. Worse customer experience ever.
