Nightcap at Atherton Hotel

Friendly staff at check in, provided with 2 free drink vouchers. Room spacious, comfortable bed and 2 free breakfast boxes. Asked staff for plates and cutlery and they obliged with a smile. Location walkable to everywhere. My room out the back was very quiet.

We had one night here and were happy with our stay. The room was large, clean and comfortable. Looks like the room had been recently renovated. Our only issue was the limited number of racks/hooks for hanging things in the bathroom. (Otherwise bathroom excellent.) At check-in we were given vouchers for two free drinks at the bar and told hotel guests get 10% of meals in the bistro. So, that was good. The Bistro offered a fairly mainstream pub-grub style menu and had zilch ambience, but the food was fine - and we got our discount! So, the hotel was OK, however we were less impressed by Atherton, finding the town a bit of a non-event. There are a lot of attractive places to stay on the Tablelands, but Atherton is not one of them. If you're here on business, the Nightcap, would be an excellent base. But if you are tourist, like us, you might be better off in somewhere like Yungaburra.

Was expecting the old style pub accommodation - how wrong could we be ! Newly refurbished rooms were excellent. Staff were friendly & helpful, starting with the greeting from the receptionist to the staff in the hotel bistro. Meals were great. Lots around Atherton to see - should've stayed 2 nights !!
