We booked an Ocean view suite through Wotif, but were given a suite that overlooks buildings and a car park. Their response when we complained was well it was a third party booking. Very disappointed - if i wanted views of the building I would have just paid for a standard room. We could see the ocean if we went on the balcony, stood on a chair and leaded around the building..

Room was good, parking directions not clear, rang Best Western number to get clearer parking instructions, they couldn’t get through to hotel, so had to go back to reception. Difficult getting loaded luggage trolley up ramp and into hotel. Toaster blew all power points in room but housekeeping quickly reconnected and provided new toaster. However have noticed today we have been charged $38.50 on our credit card with no explanation.

The hotel was once a standout but it has turned into a massive disappointment. While COVID has been difficult the lack of service and even lack of basics such as soap in the rooms was embarrassing. We were charged a room rate that was not cheap but service was scanty. Will not stay here again.

I ordered the suite with the spa bath. I didn’t get what I ordered on this site. I upgraded to what I ordered and ended up paying an extra $70 to get what I thought I’d ordered in the first place. I was very disappointed.
