"The room was great bed was comfortable "

"We absolutely loved the old grandeur of this building - with surviving furniture and decor. Everything was old and glorious - i dont mind rough around the edges as this in itself tells a story of survival against the odds! These old buildings are very expensive to upkeep so the exterior needs attention, as does window frames. I can only wish that the property owner is budgeting for ongoing upgrades. Its important to stay where money is needed. We stayed in the royal suite - it was beautiful, a grand old women, still vey beautiful but in need of love! The evening staff were not the most helpful - the young boy was great but his blond coworker was a little rude! Again the grandeur of the building still made our stay more than worthwhile. Loved meeting a local named David on arrival- he was very knowledgeable and looked part of the furniture. Thank you for our experience Craigs Royal Hotel!"

"The rooms are great"

"Bit disappointed. Received an E Mail at 1.30pm on my way to the Motel advising that I had to use a pin number for my room. This was a bit late as luckily, I have my E Mails on my phone. When I arrived, there was no one at reception (3.00 pm in the afternoon) and didn't see any staff the 3 days that I was there. Room was good but a bit dated. Parking was also unusual as there didn't seem to be enough for all of the units."

"Staff were fantastic!"
