Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

My coworkers, and I caught up for a drink here recently. I parked at the front of the motel, as both coworkers were staying here, we thought this was the best place to catch up. I had booked my accommodation too late, and I was...staying elsewhere. If the venue was busy, I imagine visitors would have problems finding a carpark. Another unusual thing if you cannot go through the front access, as it has been blocked off. Entering through Reception, you follow the sign to the bar. The area is thoughtfully laid out with a variety of seating. We all ordered a cocktail each, and enjoyed our drinks. The Staff were exceedingly professional. This is somewhere I would return to.More

Food was excellent. Staff super attentive. Ordered the Black Angus steak and fish and chips. The fish was the best I’ve had with lovely tartar sauce. The stake cooked to perfection with lovely seasonal vegetables. Would have loved desserts but were too full. Oh ordered...Neapolitan pasta for my son and he loved it. Says a lot as he’s a picky eater.More

As a solo traveller passing through Albury, and without a booking, the staff were very helpful on a busy night. A quick drink in the comfortable and quiet bar was followed by an excellent steak, which was served with well matched extras. Absolutely delicious, and...the medium rare order with a slight char on the outside was the best cooked that I can remember. I will certainly come again.More

Following a good past experience on a Melbourne to Sydney road trip, we returned here for two dinners and a breakfast during a trip this week. The dinners were both great - delicious rib eye steak, chips and salad (and they were accommodating with dietary...requirements, so thank you!). Wine by the glass was also great (love the Pocketwatch Pinot Gris and Cab Sav thank you again!) Breakfast was a bit disappointing however - mainly because it took so so long! One staff member was doing absolutely everything from orders, to clearing tables and even making coffees (we did feel sorry for her and she did an amazing job all on her own in the circumstances) - however, we waited close to 45 minutes for our order to arrive. We eventually got our meals and had to go and ask for the juice. The dining room is nice with a good view over the little garden.More

I had dinner here a couple of nights this weeks as was staying at the BW Hotel. I did a seperate review of hotel. So on dinner nights reception was spot on, friendly professional staff at happy hour and table waiting. One night the chef...appeared with my meal. First night I had Duck spring rolls, really nice and crumbed chicken, chips and salad. Top quality produce and good size portions. Second night I had the porterhouse steak with pepper sauce, chips and salad, again spot on like above. Prices were reasonable and if you can get a couple of drinks before 6pm it is happy hour prices like $6 a wine, $6 beers. I highly recommend the restaurant, which also does room service for dinner. It is not open for b/fast but does room service b/fast, I fixed my own.More

Found restaurant on the internet. Website advertised menu which was not available at restaurant. Waitress said that menu had just been changed, however it is now three days after our visit and the menu on the website has still not been changed. For a few...days before our arrival my wife and I had been discussing what we would like to eat and had been looking forward to ordering the lamb and the salad, both served on large platters. The pictures of these large platters looked particularly enticing, and was the reason we booked. However, we were disappointed to find these items were not on the menu. Plus the dinner ware was very plain and ordinary looking. Canteen/cafe styled though the prices were most definitely not! We ordered “garlic twist”, which turned out to be half a baguette sprinkled with a little cheese taken straight from the freezer. We had to send it back as the garlic butter between the slices was still frozen! It came back a couple of minutes later still not totally melted. My wife, who was celebrating her eighty third birthday, had a pasta dish she could not finish as the bottom of the bowl was swimming in oil. My steak was of a very poor quality, more medium than the rare I had requested, while the green beans were over cooked and soggy and I have no idea what the two or three green leaves had been as they too were soggy and had shrivelled up so small as to be unrecognisable. The fish and chips ordered by our son, was the only dish that looked in any way appetising and appeared well presented.More
