Cheaper hotel with good pub food.has tab and pokies room 1 minute walk from strand

Approximate cost: $20

The hotel Allen offers great pub grub with good sizes and good prices. The daily specials are always good value. The building itself is an older style but is still nice and close to the beach.

I was lucky enough to dine here on three or four occasions over the last twelve months with some friends from out of town. I was extremely impressed with the freshness and portion sizes of the meals with. The prices are on the lower side of average and provide good value. The pub itself is pretty old school with an inside public front bar and pokies room with the main attraction being the eating area (indoors) and the beer garden type area out the back. The proximity to the beach is really good to and its probably the cheapest bar to have a pub meal at along the strand compared to the other bars. I thought my steak was cooked to perfection and I really liked their chips and gravy . Hotel Allen is a really decent place to go for a good value meal that wont hurt the hip pocket to hard.

Approximate cost: $10-30

We stayed here a few nights while waiting on a rental, rooms are very average, very old and beds are very uncomfortable. Great value for money 70buck a night and you get a free breakfast at the pub. Dinner is amazing every meal we had was 8/10. Very close to the beach, is a great place to stay if you aren't going to be in the room all that much.

Approximate cost: $18.00

Hadn't been here in awhile so decided to give it a go. Food was pretty nice - nothing to fancy. They still have a great price range on food. The staff and service is of a high standard. Didn't take long to get our order

hotel allen does a pretty good $10 breakfeast. nothing to fancy but deffinantly worth the money. and everything was fresh to! was expecting there to be more people. would go back again

We heard about the $10 all you can eat breakfast buffet and decided to give it a go. We went on a sunday morning about 930am. When we got there, we had to try and find somewhere to sit, and there was no food in the buffet except a bit of bacon and some bread. No juice, no milk, no water. We had to wait about 10-15mins for the cook to bring more out, but at least it was fresh. It was nice. Great value for money, they just needed to have more staff on. We did hear them telling some other customers that there not usually that busy on a sunday and its usually best to book a table, so next time we go were going to go on a saturday.

Approximate cost: $10
