We're sorry about the issue you have experienced. Thank you for letting us know. Regrettably, the hotel does not have control over the bookings that were made through a third-party booking agency. The hotel cannot make any changes to the guest's booking as the booking was not made directly with the hotel, it was made through Wotif.

Property was comfortable and within walking distance to public transport. Staff were friendly. Cleanliness left a lot to be desired - dirty marks on bathroom door and rubbish from previous guest left under one of the beds.
