Tucked away in quiet Wood Street, this hotel is an easy walk to all of Bright’s main attractions such as the shops, restaurants, Howitt Park and the river. Good value for money - it’s a bit dated but is clean and has spacious rooms.

Shower recess in desperate need of upgrade ie shower base heavily stained/marked with ? mould along with glass sliding door tracks-yuk!!! No microwave which was very disappointing and lack of little touches like the odd pair of wine glasses and coffee mugs,dishwashing liquid was like water and no chux/dish cloth provided. Blockout curtains very old,faded and grubby looking.

There was a dirty tissue left on the floor, we were put in the end room were we had to walk down a dark walkway. And had to put ip with water heaters running continuously. The shower tiles where broken where you had to stand and we felt unsafe. Worried about cutting our feet

I was in one of the newly refurbished rooms. It was fine. The bed was comfortable, had an electric blanket which was lovely. The room also had air-con, so staying warm was easy. The shower pressure was awesome. It was what I expected. There was a sign saying, due to covid there's no servicing of the room, which is outdated. If you don't want to service the room, that's fine, just don't 'blame' it on covid that has no restrictions anymore. I didn't like sign that said something like, the crockery is there for you convenience, if you're not prepared to wash, dry and put away your dishes don't use them.

Well kept property - stayed in the refurbished rooms which felt comfortable with modern amenities. Management could improve on communication, however this was a minor issue and wouldn’t deter me from staying again.

Weekend get away
Spent two nights over the weekend in a spa room. Very convenient location for walking around the town. Room was comfortable but the spa bath is a bit small for two. All spa rooms are up stairs but you go get a view out the back across the croquet field and creek.

Shower in unit was awful. Fixed shower head placed very high, and obviously no adjustment possible. Shower drain directly under head and tiles were wobbly, and you had to stand on drain to get under shower. Very unsafe. Asked manager for real milk for tea . Unable to supply. Lady who provided clean towels when requested was very nice and very helpful. Location excellent.
