Convenient to Port Arthur

Very convenient to the historic site with direct access. Bedding was comfortable but room a bit dated (some mould around the windows needs attention) and a microwave in the room would be good. The continental breakfast was adequate and the staff were very friendly.

The management of the business are extremely great and understanding. I double booked and have refunded me minus the 15p/c Expedia took on booking. I’ve been waiting about 5 days now for a response from Expedia and still waiting. They will not answer calls and make it near impossible to email them regarding the issue. I would never use them again. Tony K

The room was very dated but clean. Adequate for a couple of nights stay. Can't make own food in room so have to eat out. Excellent location for Port Arthur historical site, can have a key to get in the 'back' gate and walk there.
