I stayed at the Loftus Hotel in May. Ask for one of the rooms on the
west side where you can overlook the Junee level crosssing. It was
changing hands at the time I stayed but the new owner is keen to keep it
as an accommodation venue. By the way while it is a hotel it does not
have a liquor licence, not a problem as there are two pubs within 50m.
of the Loftus.
Also the Bethungra Hotel has closed. I understand that the liquor
licence was sold for a good price so it could be used in Sydney
(Olympics strike again?).
