James Cook Hotel Grand Chancellor

8/10 Good

"Room was very clean, bed comfortable, nice bathroom with long large shower. Room had a nice view. Staff were very warm, kind and helpful. Parking on site. Buffet breakfast was good with a selection of hot and cold, sweet and savoury. Easy access to town through lift exiting onto Lambton quay."
