Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
The refurbished look was great, comfy beds and set up. Maybe soap and shampoo amenities would have been good for the room, as I had to head to the shops to get some, but otherwise fine. A jug of water in the fridge would be good instead of having to use the bathroom tap to get a drink of water. Otherwise, very good stay, maybe slightly cheaper in price as it's only one night, but most places in Castlemaine are like that. More rooms to be refurbished and a new look, so we have more options for rooms to stay.

On arrival we were informed that our room had been “upgraded”. I suspect that they had overbooked and had to move us to a different room that was not prepared for guests. I would have preferred the room we booked because I specifically chose it for the bathroom which looked to be in a better state than some of the other rooms. They had left a ceiling fan on in the room (during the middle of winter) clearly to try to address the smell. It smelt like a dog had been in the room. The carpets had not been vacuumed and there were pieces of what I suspect looked like chewed dog toy. The surfaces had not been cleaned, there were crumbs on coffee table and the bathroom sink has a massive build up of black grime around the taps. We did not bother raising these issues because it was late in the evening and we knew there were no other rooms available. The electric blanket on the bed didn’t work and the room was very cold. The bedspread was not clean. Terrible. You should inspect the property and consider removing it from your site as it is very misleading.
