Holmesville Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Despite a band playing I was able to get an early night's sleep. The room was a classic old hotel room,high ceilings,excellent space ,only a bed and bedside table. Locks were modern and secure. No lifts but a lovely old lace railed verderah. On-site parking which freed up once attendees at an afternoon function left. Easy to find by GPS and likewise to access off freeway. Bistro prices not cheap but children's werves reasonable and sufficient. Communal bathrooms adequate but require more frequent cleaning and a waste paper bin as people continually placed paper hand towels down toilet clogging it temporarily."
