"Typical of overpriced accommodation in a West Australian mining town, this room would be half the price in any town in the Southwest. My main gripe was that the shower's hot water seems to be on a timer, 5 minutes hot than cold. On the plus side it was refreshing. Dead cockroach on the bathroom floor."

"Staff failed to advise us that tradies wanted access to our room at 8am whilst we were still trying to have breakfast. Then they parked across the doorway wanting us to leave and limiting our access to pack the vehicles. Room had been deodorised due a smoker from the day before which made every surface smell worse. The cafe which was advertised was not open until further notice. Feel like some sort of cost offset should have been offered due to the levels of inconvenience."
