Old Reynella Hotels with Bars

Where do I start? A winery without wine three male colleagues and I on business . arrived at 7.30 pm to check in and have something to eat Check in was at the bar where the locals with their mullets and tats had made themselves comfortable on the ratty couches. We were advised to order our meals as we checked in because the kitchen was closing As we ordered, we were moved aside as the 2 barmaids on duty removed a patron who had become violent. Having completed our meal ( nothing to write home about so I won't ) we gathered our belongings from our vehicle and passing by the locals on the couch were asked with a snide giggle , if we were sharing a room I can assure you unlike the locals, we don't all sleep together. The rooms are badly maintained with paper thin walls and chipped cabinetry. Apparently hot water to the bathroom basin is an optional extra . Our arrival coincided with a Thursday night wedding ( who gets married on a Thursday?) The resulting noise from the drunk wedding guests stripping off and swimming in the pool then fist fighting each other made sleeping difficult . No breakfast available week days only weekends so it's off to Maccas before we begin our work day. After our first meal we decided to eat at the local pub, pretty good food, we'll done Crown Better nights sleep , no wedding. Breakfast ok but slow and the coffee very weak. House keeping us practically nonexistent with bedding simply pulled up over what ever is on the bed ( see photos) Breakfast the next morning was a nonevent , ”Sorry, they'll be a wait , we've run out of bacon and eggs) Off the Maccas we go again. How would I rate St Francis winery ( without wine) I wouldn't Keep driving
