The rooms needs maintenance carried out, currently lacking terribly. Room presentation at first glance good but then things start coming to light, nothing major but little things that should be appearing. Am I fussy? No! but unless this issues are brought to the new managements attention they will not be fixed. Overall good place to stay, very central to everything.

The reception lady was nice. The property needs a lot of attention though. Pool area very blah. No bath mat, or face washer in room. No hairdryer. Shabby furniture and outdated grubby bathroom with last guests soap still on window sill. Blobs of dust on ceilings and walls. Just not great. Luckily i was only staying one night, or i would have gone elsewhere. Over priced for what is. The only thing i liked was the blockout curtains

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We got there only to realise it was full of crisis housing occupants. There was a dispute unveiling as we got there which made us feel immediately unsafe. The pool was green and everything in the motel was outdated with a strong smell of cleaning products. We needed to check out due to a change in personal circumstances and organised a refund through the front desk and Wotif the night before and it was confirmed in writing that we could get a refund. Went to front desk the next morning to get the refund organised and was told that they couldnt which was opposite of what I was told and had in writing. Then was argued with about the refund and told the receptionist made a mistake. Was continually told I couldn’t get a refund, finally showed the chat notes and was able to get a refund. Rude and unprofessional staff, don’t know the laws around terms and conditions or how to honour the customer. Would not recommend this place.

The room was full of cockroaches and I left the room. The receptionist mentioned me I would get a refund for the half and never happened. After time I called back and the management told me was her first week working there and never heard something about it but she will check the situation to help me with the refund but definitely never happened. So disappointing.

A MILLION COCKROACHES
The room was absolutely RIDDLED WITH COCKROACHES!! I’ve never seen that many insects in my whole life. I woke up at midnight to cockroaches in my bed, on every wall in my room! They were all through my suitcase inside my shoes and clothes. It was like something out of a horror movie. I went to reception and there was no one there, and no emergency after hour number to call. I had no choice but to book a room in the Novotel as it was the only Hotel available at that time of the morning. It cost me $450 which I was really unhappy about. Thankfully management issued me a refund the following day, however this does not make up for the horrible experience I was put through and the cost to my second Hotel room. I will NEVER stay in this Hotel again and I strongly advise that you don’t either.
