Description mentions the building has been renovated, true I suppose given it was built in the 1800's so it must have been at some time, just not recently. Obviously the building is heritage listed so there may be issues modernising but internally even a few thousand to modernise furniture, some new flooring and better security so you can safely leave some windows open would be a massive improvement. Old sash windows and dodgy doors dont leave you confident of sleeping with anything open and no fans in the bedrooms. I wouldnt recomend. ##### Dave ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Victoria's at Ewingsdale Byron Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Victorias-At-Ewingsdale-Byron-Bay.h4517022.Hotel-Information) > > [Forster Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Forster-Hotels-Forster-Motor-Inn.h6944640.Hotel-Information) > > [Century Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Finley-Hotels-Century-Motor-Inn.h18743055.Hotel-Information) > > [Nowra Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Nowra-Hotels-Nowra-Motor-Inn.h9240827.Hotel-Information) > > [Quirindi Sunflower Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Quirindi-Hotels-Quirindi-Sunflower-Motor-Inn.h37623578.Hotel-Information) > > [Cove Studios](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Cove-Studios.h4245615.Hotel-Information) > > [The Abbey Motel Goulburn](https://www.expedia.ca/Goulburn-Hotels-The-Abbey-Motel-Goulburn.h46155424.Hotel-Information) > > [Dubbo Rhino Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Dubbo-Hotels-Dubbo-Rhino-Lodge.h37830304.Hotel-Information) > > [Bay Haven Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Bay-Haven-Lodge.h2616623.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lord Byron](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-The-Lord-Byron.h2646995.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Blu – steps from Culburra Beach's blue waters](https://www.expedia.ca/Culburra-Beach-Hotels-Casa-Blu-Stay5-Pay-4.h112236304.Hotel-Information) > > [The Golfers Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Tenterfield-Hotels-The-Golfers-Inn.h70363640.Hotel-Information) > > [Bay and Basin](https://www.expedia.ca/Jervis-Bay-Hotels-Bay-And-Basin.h19287179.Hotel-Information) > > [Nelson Bay Breeze Holiday Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Nelson-Bay-Hotels-Nelson-Bay-Breeze-Holiday-Apartments.h3956833.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel Echo Point](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Echo-Point-Discovery-Motel.h4967081.Hotel-Information) > > [Terrigal Pacific Coastal Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Terrigal-Hotels-Terrigal-Pacific-Coastal-Retreat.h8126130.Hotel-Information) > > [Kings and Queens Paterson](https://www.expedia.ca/Paterson-Hotels-CBC-Bed-Breakfast-Cafe.h15677357.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquarius Backpacker Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Aquarius-Backpacker-Resort.h18171655.Hotel-Information) > > [Reflections Seal Rocks - Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Seal-Rocks-Hotels-Reflections-Holiday-Parks-Seal-Rocks.h7250099.Hotel-Information) > > [Bella Villa Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Forster-Hotels-Bella-Villa-Motor-Inn.h3941292.Hotel-Information) > > [Byron Quarter Holiday Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Byron-Quarter-Holiday-Apartments.h2646899.Hotel-Information) > > [Gateway Lifestyle Birubi Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Anna-Bay-Hotels-Gateway-Lifestyle-Birubi-Beach.h3971799.Hotel-Information) > > [Drifter Byron Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Drifter-Byron-Bay.h73063088.Hotel-Information) > > [A line Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Griffith-Hotels-A-Line-Motel.h3941352.Hotel-Information) > > [Quest Goulburn](https://www.expedia.ca/Goulburn-Hotels-Quest-Goulburn.h38890159.Hotel-Information) > > [Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary](https://www.expedia.ca/One-Mile-Hotels-Port-Stephens-Koala-Sanctuary.h10983411.Hotel-Information) > > [Buccaneer Motel Pet friendly](https://www.expedia.ca/Long-Jetty-Hotels-Buccaneer-Motel-Pet-Friendly.h3956828.Hotel-Information) > > [Metropole Katoomba](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Metropole-Katoomba.h3595421.Hotel-Information) > > [The Phoenix Artesian Spa Resort and Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Moree-Hotels-Dragon-Phoenix-Motel-Restaurant.h24775.Hotel-Information)
