Allandale Holidays from AU$549

Meh, staff nice enough… but ‘Resort”? Not. More like a motel in decent shape. Area was a bit seedy. No breakfast these days? OK for price but don’t try to fool us with an extravagant “regular price”, then a discount….is maybe worth about what we paid..

The hotel was great and the staff was nice. It’s just that we didn’t know about the trash removal service. Other than that it was great.

The hotel was beautiful and staff were courteous. I’d booked this hotel because I wanted to enjoy the rooftop terrace, but upon arrival was told that I couldn’t because I wasn’t a club member. I was put on the highest floor and within two days both elevators were out of service so all guests had to use the service elevator in that part of the building. I had also booked for the breakfast, but it was over by 9:30 so I never made it. Also, on separate occasions, the power went out in my room thus rotting the food that I had in the refrigerator. Finally, the TVs were not set up appropriately, I only had a few live channels, and the guide had no information and no premium channels.

Our trip was a working trip and we selected this hotel because of the location. The room was adequate but nothing out of the ordinary. There were several preventative maintenance items that needed to be done, like both the shower and sink did not drain quickly. Many unchaparoned young adults were in the hotel so the noise level was high. Check in and out were easy.

Our room was great. Clean, modern and spacious with a great shower. The staff was gracious and attentive. The restaurant food was upscale and delicious. I thought the spicy selections were too numerous. We did not use parking. Public transportation of bus and train was close and convenient.
