Upon check in I was repeatedly told I "should have booked with the hotel directly because it would be cheaper"... it wasn't. It was said 4 times and made me uncomfortable. I just wanted to check in after travelling with my family and didn't need to be told that booking through an online service cost the hotel money and a commission. The room itself was spacious and had all the needed facilities. The floor however felt gritty and in need of a more thorough mop. Everything else was very clean. Hotel is located on the Main Street within walking distance of lots of facilities. I would probably stay there again for the convenience but would like the above issues rectified.

Tiny rooms, we arrived late with child, had to make up the bed for child once we arrived. Bed was weird and uncomfortable felt like we were sleeping up hill. Have stayed here once before and property gone downhill. Very expensive

This property was adequate for my needs. I arrived at 730pm or so and the office was not manned. I read the instructions and called the phone number. I was given instructions to get a key and easily found the room. It was very clean and the bed was comfortable. I believe there was only one other guest staying there. The following morning I saw one staff person who was transporting linens to the property next door. Bottom line? If you want to stay somewhere that is clean and quiet… without staff on site, then you can book here. I’m on holiday and this did not add to my Australian experience. OTOH, I got a decent sleep and moved on.

It's hard for me to write a review for the Richmond Inn, as there was a problem with getting my key from the After Hours security box. But the After Hours on-call reception staff were very helpful, and ended up giving me a room in the sister property next door, the Heritage Inn. (And due to this, I got an upgrade, which was nice, but all I needed was a comfortable bed after a big day of driving!)
