“This place strikes me as a genuine slice of Charters Towers, a traditional pub that also happens to offer lodging. The combination of a public bar and bistro gives appealing dining choices, and the location puts you within easy reach of the Stock Exchange Building and Zara Clark Museum. I think this property is a particularly solid choice for budget-conscious travelers wanting a taste of the local atmosphere.”
