This property was more like a rabbit warren boarding house. There was NO tv as pictured. Shared facilities. Be aware a bond is taken to ensure no damage to the property.

The staff is so friendly. There are a train station and a market. Even in midnight, I didn't feel no danger around the hotel. But, I stayed 4 nights, and no room cleaning and towel change. Except for them, it was comfortable.

Had to pay a bond at the property wich was worth more than the stay this has still not been refunded and quite frankly this is absurd especially as I’m relying on that money if you do not sort this out asap I will have to escalate things would not reccomend anyone to stay here unless you don’t mind waiting for a refund of your bond!!

I went to check in on the day, they refused me entry as id lost my license on my trip and didnt have photo I.D. still charged me refused entry and refused to refund me and said they cant refund same day bookings. Had to go elsewhere book another accomodation and never actually got past the front desk. The bloke was rude at the desk and not sympathetic at all to the situation

A horrible last minute decision to stay close to the gig we were attending. Arrived at 6ish to a locked reception door & 'We're closed' said from a dark window. After grudgingly allowing us entry he sighed, huffed & puffed his unhappy way through check in. 2nd surprise was the $150 bond payment which was more than the cost of the stay - Still un-returned to us 2 weeks after the stay. We were quickly shown to our room were it dawned on us what we had. A room, bed & mini fridge with about 500mm clearance from bed to wall. The choose your room on LM.com has 4 photos - 1 hazy shot of the bedroom & 3 of showers. Room Amenities has a bathroom listed with shower listed. Room definitely didn't have the space for a shower. After returning from the gig we then realized that the only thing possible to do in the room was read the bible - no tv. We didn't stay as it would have been awful to wake up in that awful room & stand in line for 1 of the 2 showers. Dark around the place at night with front gate wide open to anyone. Recommend 1st thing in ad should be - Rooms Have Nothing a Horrid Place with Grizzly Staff
