The Maclean Hotel is full of old world charm and was a great location to stay in the middle of town and on the river front. Our room, a Standard Queen was clean, comfortable and very affordable over a long weekend. The shared bathrooms are thoroughly modern and very clean. A guest laundry, kitchen with a fridge and a small dining/ lounge is provided on the accommodation level which is upstairs over the hotel below. (NB there is no lift - not a problem for me but could be an issue for others). We dined in the hotel and the meals were affordable and delicious. Staff were courteous and very helpful.
I have only have 2 suggestions- a bedside lamp and the addition of drapes to the window to reduce the early morning sun. I would strongly recommend a visit to the Maclean Hotel.
I only stayed one night, but it was a good experience. The rooms are in the pub and there are shared facilities. Everything was very clean and neat and felt quite safe. Check-in was pretty casual and smooth.
It's an older building and the rooms are basic, with the usual mini bar etc., the single beds were neat and clean. No AC, but I found that the fan was enough. No complaints here.
Didn’t realise it would have communal bathrooms. Should have thought about it as it is a 150 year old hotel.
It was fine we adapted and thought it was an interesting little twist to make out road trip more memorable.

Simple lodgings but certainly up to par, the only issue I found was the hot water in the shared bathroom was very slow to heat and barely got more than luke warm but the location had incredible views of the river, fair rates, and a great menu at the attached restaurant.

Room was very small and bed was uncomfortable. Good we were only in for one night.
I am 6 foot 5 inches and yes I should have read the description better but a single bunk bed was very uncomfortable In a small room with no aircon, I went downstairs for dinner after I checked in and had a shower ( in a share bathroom) I ordered there weekly special which was a rub eye on the bone. I was using the toilet for the next day and a half!!! I will not be in a hurry to go back there at all
Proximity to middle of town is excellent. Great pub below, not too noisy which was surprising.
The mattresses were pretty awful though. Actually, I don't think I have been stabbed by as many springs ever before! In all seriousness, we thoroughly enjoyed the hotel except the mattresses.
Over priced but shared bathroom modern and clean. Basic shared kitchenette. Clean linen on bunk beds. Despite non-smoking room everything smelt smoky. Woke up to someone smoking outside the room. Sink in room faulty.
Great old colonial style pub,with the rooms upstairs..Wasn't put off by community bathrooms as they are private and very well maintained.Great shared kitchen area with seating.Old styled guest rooms,nothing fancy,but we'll presented and clean.Bar downstairs is wonderful,good atmosphere and really good food at nice pub prices.Excellent bar staff and lots of inside/outside seating.. Definately recommend staying here.Central in town to all the local shops..Loved it here.
