Hotel Shamrock Bendigo
The cleanliness is generally good with attention to details on the dust on the fan and spider web on the lights. The family room could be better with freshness of smell probably from the carpet. Other than that the staff is friendly and the hotel is full of historical details.

We stayed in a family room and it had great space. We enjoyed that it had a back door so the car could be parked quite close. The playground across the road was excellent so the location of the hotel was perfect with our kids
