I paid for, but didn't stay at this property. I booked a room on Wotif, while on a work trip, happy to stay at a discount property as I actually like the "tradies and labourers" ambience of old hotels with shared bathrooms and friendly public bars. However, when I got to the hotel, the room I booked (private shower, shared toilet) wasn't available. So, they swapped me to a fully shared bathroom room. Opened the room's door, and there was somebody there already in bed. Not sure where the problem was, Wotif or the Royal, but they actually didn't have any room to book, but both Wotif and the Hotel thought that they did have. They gave me a cash refund and I found a room elsewhere.
