Nightcap at Barkly Hotel

Its good for business travel

There was a welcoming committee of abusive drunks and bar flies outside the pub and drive through entrance, who do not mind abusing people for nothing at all, as they walk past minding their own business, just to get to reception to check-in. Check in at the main public bar is mostly unattended, until one of the pub staff happens to notice you. Food is pretty ordinary, but it is fairly simple to order using the bar code and arrives in a timely fashion. The gate to the actual hotel accommodation part is mostly unlocked, so not secure from the public bar and many homeless, or at least aimless people hanging around. The pool is green / brown and unusable, with all of the surrounds unkept. The hotel is right on the main highway north south and there is nothing easily accessible around it, as it is basically an all-industrial area, apart from the seedy pub itself, that the accommodation is attached to.

Genuinely one of the most comfortable mattresses in any motel I've ever stayed in (not overly springy). Room was compact but clean and comfortable with modern furnishings. Hotel provided a complementary drink in the bar on check in. Location is a very short drive from the downtown area. Would happily stay again.

Really nice renovated room Comfortable bed, & good supply of toiletries & tea coffee etc… Good air conditioning Good smart tv - would be great to have Stan sport on it. Room can get hot …. Needs a block out curtain. Staff at reception lovely & allowed us early check in & late check out. Free drink in the hotel, nice meals. Ample car parking

The room while tidy was not very clean. The floors needed vacuuming and all surfaces need a wash down. Being a main road for the mining vehicles it was noisy all night. Facility was good with a recent refurbishment having been completed.

All good place for what i need
