It is a joke. The laughing stopped when I remembered how much we paid. Multilingual staff have limited English. One uncomfortable chair in the room for two people. Dirty, spider webs on the ceiling, no bathroom exhaust fan. The cleaner uses the reading lamp electricity wall plug and does not plug the lamp back in. Three glasses. One side plate, no other plates. Local pub was shut. Really old SD TV so I doubt if it can be used for streaming video. No wifi unless you go to the office to ask for a user name and password. Then there are also a few negatives, like $205 per night for a room that is unfit for purpose.

We didn't even stay 10 minutes. The bathroom was mouldy and the toilet leaked. The was old, too red and smelled damp It was unfit and unhealthy for my young child to sleep there. Late on a Friday night, I had to quickly find another room at my own expense. Do not stay here.

The room was quiet and we had a good night sleep. The location was quite convenient to get to and from, and parking was easy and good. The property itself was badly in need of renovation and updating. It started in reception with a grubby, dusty, dirty, unkept, rundown feel to it, and didn’t really improve. The room was quite disgusting and well below standard for the price. It was grubby and only barely cleanish. The walls were grubby. The bathroom was an unattractive DIY job. We were left with 1 toilet paper that was not even a new full roll. The cups and jug were dirty. The carpet was stained and dirty. The curtains were faded badly. The access was up external stairs at the rear of the building like service stairs. There was a 2seater couch that was dirty and had a cheap synthetic cover over it that was dirty and stained. Several light switches didn’t work. The phone in the room was disconnected. The property was unattended overnight with no way to contact anyone for anything like toilet paper. It really was well below standard for the price. I honestly wouldn’t pay more than $75 for it. We had to pay $275 as it was a long weekend and we couldn’t get anywhere else after we unexpectedly got stranded in Geelong. We just got back from India and had better rooms there!

We were refused entry to our room by a security guard as the hotel was under closure so we were unable to stay which on seeing it we were probably lucky but didn’t get a refund from them or wot if even though it was their fault. So don’t trust either company

Property serves its purpose but it was very old and the bathroom was so old and disgusting that I couldn’t use the shower. Also wasn’t impressed to see the owner standing outside my door at 9:50am waiting to pounce on 10am checkout. I couldn’t actually walk out the door until he stepped aside. So rude and god forbid I left at 10am on the dot. Wouldn’t stay there again

Well, the location was good. The premises is old and tired. It is clear there is no concern about facilities, safety and refurbishment. We were not expecting the Ritz but at the same time we were expecting a moderately respectable premises. Zero stars!
