Was dirty, bed looked like it was already slept on. Worst hotel I’ve ever come across. Photos don’t do it justice. Handed our keys back into management and found another hotel to stay at.

Falling apart. Fridge was dripping water onto the floor, air conditioner was an old noisy banger. The room was not secure, half the power to the room was provided by an extension cord through the window. So I could not fully close the window. By far the worst quality accommodation I have seen.

Thank you for your review. I am disappointed that your stay was not up to your standard. We are in the process of updating the air conditioners and as you were here i am sure that you seen many trades persons working on various projects around the property. The extention cord was a quick fix for the night until a electrician could repair the power point in that room,

Room was ok, had a double and a single bed in it. TV was too small and stored over the other end of the room. Bathroom was old. Aircon worked well
