Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean and tidy. You could tell a lot of money has fairly recently been spent on renovations, however things are failing; the biggest issue we had was difficulty flushing the toilet. It seems there’s a bit of an issue with the toilets. I hope they can make a warranty claim on these toilets, it’s not going to be a cheap exercise to replace them since they are the invisible cisterns behind a glass panel on the wall.

A nice room, mostly clean (hairs on the vanity). The shower was scalding hot or freezing cold and was not able to be adjusted in-between. So, no shower after a long day of travel.

Disliked: Amenities
The refurbished look was great, comfy beds and set up. Maybe soap and shampoo amenities would have been good for the room, as I had to head to the shops to get some, but otherwise fine. A jug of water in the fridge would be good instead of having to use the bathroom tap to get a drink of water. Otherwise, very good stay, maybe slightly cheaper in price as it's only one night, but most places in Castlemaine are like that. More rooms to be refurbished and a new look, so we have more options for rooms to stay.
