Overnight stay. Close to centre of town so an easy walk around the shops. Restaurant had a good menu and staff very friendly and helpful. Wednesday night and restaurant was full so this indicates the popularity and quality of the hotel.

jeanette, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our stay since it was the perfect Australian hotel that we imagined an Australian hotel would be. It was clean, had a great dining room, very helpful staff, and a great bathroom in our queen suite. We will stay there again and will recommend it to all our Californian friends
Vicky, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Second stay here. Accomodation is upstairs not possible for some with movement limitations. Restaurant and cocktail bar are both good quality and reasonable value
William, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice big room, handy location, but because of this very noisy. Bear in mind this is a traditional hotel building with accommodation rooms on the upper floor. Many stairs & no lifts.

Awesome
Jason, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was okay, no soap at all, the stairs to access the rooms too narrow and too many.
Neville, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I was pleasantly surprised. Most Tavern/hotel rooms are very basic, with often shared bathrooms etc. This had it all. Good value for money also.

4/10 Fair

The bed had bugs, very itchy night all over. Bathrooms were nice a clean. Very noisy during night with doors banging.
Shivani, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Stay was good. Clean room. Only issue we had was noise. I think it was coming from the events room downstairs. Loud music untill 9:30pm.
Marc, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Road trip overnight stay

Motel is on the main road but our room did not hear the road noise, however the refrigeration and central air conditioning motors provided a constant hum. Room was a queen with 2 seater couch, tv and bathroom. Our 4WD could not fit in the underground Carpark so we parked adjacent in the street, no problem. Rooms on 2nd floor but no elevator and the stairs are narrow. Nice place to stay. Meal in the restaurant was also very nice.
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a bit noisy at night due to either a generator or air conditioning units outside my window. Shutting the windows helped a lot but it didn't block it out completely.
Marie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had an enjoyable meal in the restaurant. Our room was clean and spacious. Check in at the pokies bar was a bit unusual and there was no obvious signage on the exterior of the building to indicate it was the Mitchell River Tavern. Also, the lack of a lift to our room upstairs was an inconvenience for bringing in luggage.
John Roger, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property had just been painted on the outside, so there was no name on the front of the building, but it was fine
Simon, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This was good value for money. Clean and spacious. One of the globes over the mirror needing changing - flashed on and off but in fairness I didn't report it to the Tavern. Bottom sheet was small and not able to be tucked in at the sides, a little troublesome. Was a bit noisy but not excessive - it is a Tavern after all. Would happily stay again. People friendly, dining options very good.
