Poachers Paradise Motel — Hotel in Hume

Great little hotel in the centre of Rutherglen. It is at the back of the Poachers Hotel (which when open, you can walk through to the other side of the street)||Studio room was spacious.

Food was reasonable pub food but over-priced. For a place advertising excitement on New Years Eve, the staff were closing sections of the pub and stacking chairs at 9.30pm. The advertised music was the usual muzac on the PA. The barman said, "It doesnt say live music". One might have expected a DJ or somee effort to be made on NYE, especially when it was advertised on their website. A random spinning wheel (again, advertised on the website) had not been spun between 7pm and 9.30pm. When the barman was approached he said he was about to spin it. The moon has more atmosphere than Poachers Paradise. Went across the road to The Star Hotel. The staff their were friendly and attentive, and there was a jukebox....
