2-Star Hotels in Tamworth

Went here for dinner tonight, what an overpriced disappointment. I ordered the salmon, there was none (and hasn't been/won't be available for a while) so I ordered the lamb shanks and my partner had the scotch fillet (medium). The $44 scotch fillet looked and tasted like an overcooked piece of topside. The lamb shanks were nice but they weren't ”shanks” it was ONE shank. I'm not sure how long this apparent ”typo” has been on your menu but if you're not aware already it's actually ILLEGAL to give false or misleading information. I was left so hungry that I started eating the complimentary bar snacks - which is a really nice idea, especially as the meals you pay for are so small. The only thing wonderful about this place was the lovely lady Emily who took our order. She has great energy, very friendly and accommodating. I feel sorry for her having to constantly explain to customers that meals on the menu are either unavailable or not as described. I read another review saying the Tamworth Hotel were advertising $1 oysters on their website and on a sign out the front of their hotel, but were told, once inside, that there were no oysters. The owners response was sorry, due to public holiday the oysters weren't fresh, I'm sure you don't want week old oysters........ What a pathetic response, seriously. It's YOUR responsibility to check your advertising is CORRECT and UP TO DATE. It takes 2 seconds to write ”N/A” on the sign advertising the oysters, or put an update your Facebook page or website - given they were a ”week old” it sounds life to had plenty of time to warn customers and update your advertising. Yet another example of false and misleading advertising.

Great stay overall - Great location, only a short stroll to groceries and restaurants. Old but nicely maintained cozy room, free onsite parking a bonus!

We had been away from home for 5 weeks and this really was one of the best places where we stayed. The room was large and the king bed seemed larger than some. The bathroom was sparkling clean and had everything we needed. We loved the fridge area and the sink was a great addition. It also had a microwave but we chose Room Service for dinner as it had turned cold and damp. The food arrived quickly and was first rate. There was also a private balcony which would be great in the warmer weather. We would be happy to stay there any time we visit Tamworth.

Room was comfortable with everything required for a short stay. Not high end decor and in need of some attention but beds were clean. Bathroom was the let down with large cobwebs and grimy sink drain. Not cleaned too well. Shower a little defective but gave us a laugh. Restaurant - for dinner food was very good menu had some varied options not much in the way of vegetarian. Breakfast - continental basic but included in the room price, and all the usual on the a la carte menu. Staff all very friendly and accommodating. Price was odd as we stayed Tuesday and Wednesday and one night was more expensive than the other. Probably a little overpriced in its current state.
