This is the 4th time I've stayed at the AC Suites and once again I have to compliment the housekeeping staff! My room and more importantly my bathroom - exceptionally clean! My niece, who lives in Penola, had a good look around my room and she was VERY impressed! AC Suites have new owners but the same friendly service. Will continue to recommend them as the best accommodation in Penola!

When planning my weekend to the South East, I booked in dinner at the award winning Pipers of Penola. Being around the corner, Alexander Cameron Suites was in an ideal position to walk to and from the town and restaurant. I arrived and was made welcome, and directed to my room around the corner. The rooms were quite spacious,with lots of space for luggage bags and to make you feel at home. While the weather was not ideal for long exploration around the town, having the supermarket next to the hotel was ideal. Whle I was not there, its proximity to the hospital would be helpful should the need arise. The hotel also includes disabled parking for the rooms near the entrance, which would be good for patients or families. My stay ended with the complimentary breakfast, meaning I could relax after a nice night before checkout. All in all, a comfortable hotel in a beautiful town.
