Hotel North

The hotel is definitely older, but has been well maintained overall. Staff: 5/5 Amenities: 3/5 (No ATM, no change machine for vending machines, only one bank of machines broke 5/10/20 bills. No spa or gym, etc.) Location: 3/5 or 5/5 depending on your destination. (Easy access to the NL ferry, not geeat if you're doing something in Sydney proper) Cleanliness: 5/5 Price:4.75/5(Stellar) Other notes: Hotel Restaurant is good, but hours vary based on season (11 a.m. open during off season.) No ATM onsite, no cards for vending machines. Noise level varies based on where you're at (room-to-room noise buffering seems decent, hallway-to-room is not well buffered.) If you're here for business, ask for a king room (the single and double occupancy rooms are separate and the doubles are cheaper, catering toward families it seemed.) There ARE accessible rooms available at check-in, despite not seeing any online. They're at the far end of the hotel (looks like an addition or a renovated suites section), but there is an elevator there. The accessible door buttons at the end of the hotel did -not- work however, even after keying in (also the card reader being so far from the button isn't great, something to consider.) Beds are older coil-spring types, but didn't feel worn out. Room heating systems are floor heat pumps, they work well. Curtains are older style as well, good material but fails to fully blackout the room if you're light sensitive. Oh, and don't mind the Shining vibes.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating for our family. They were busy hosting a kid's baseball team, but it was so quiet in the rooms, it felt like we were the only family staying there. The rooms were very clean, as was the linen and towels. A great stay overall!
