Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I do not normally complain but I must say, the whole toilet suite lid fell off first up. (Rather unsafe, as I nearly fell on the floor)😖 The sliding glass door to the rear patio was un-lockable. This posed a security concern because the actual sliding security screen door in the same opening could not be locked either (except my carpenter husband was able to tweak the lock a bit to lock it) The bath itself was a spa type that was very high and difficult to get into for us older folk. Very outdated. My rating for this particular room I was given was barely a 1. Thank you for your understanding.

Great service but faulty air conditioner
The room was fine. But the air conditioner did not work. Luckily the fans did work. But it was an extremely hot December night. The lady at reception was great, helping us to call a cab to the airport the next day.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The staff went out of their way to help and handle any questions we asked. The man at check in (same person most days of our stay) was excellent. He stepped up to every issues or concern and was a go to for travelers questions. Made our stay on the coast very enjoyable when it could have gone bad very quickly at some points. The cleanliness could have been better. The fountain outside the front door was a horrible first impression. The room was pretty good. Roach hatch the first night was a bad experience. The desk clerk handle it well when we advised him in the morning. It made us more cautious and observant throughout the 5 days we were there.

I’ve never been subjected to such poor quality in Australia. Booked two rooms, were given one and treated like a fraud when I insisted that I paid for two rooms not one. Had to wait 30 minutes for them to “ verify”. Got scolded for not “ listening “ to how to turn in WiFi or use the key. I took photos to show how dirty and run down the place is. It’s absolutely awful. Lots of other options nearby. Do not make same mistake I made.
