The view was good. Reception was fine, quick service and fast attention re dodgy a/c. The term Resort is very misleading. This is an average hotel which is dated but slightly overpriced. Skimping on biscuits for your tea/coffee and not providing a pergola for onsite parking during rainy days does not go unnoticed.
Smart TV offering Netflix & Youtube are plus's. A coffee table with a crippled leg, elevator with handwritten digits and staff not in uniform plus fresh paint on old bathroom tiles and vanity are negatives. Summary $160 paid for a a $100 premises.
I doubt we'll return..

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your comments. Please let me respond to your individual points.
* All the air-cons are less than 2 years old. Unfortunately the a/c remote settings on your room 107 had locked up and it needed to be switched off and on again to reset it. We hope the air-con worked fine for you after this had been done. We're sorry if the issue led you to conclude the a/c here is "dodgy".
* The term Resort is a legacy of our early years when we were deemed such. We are a medium sized motel.
* Biscuits are placed out on offer at our reception for those who would like them
* It is true we do not have under cover parking here, but the parking is free and plenty, unlike many city hotels.
* I will have maintenance fix the 'crippled' coffee table leg. Thank you for reporting the issue so a bit of care for the disabled may be implemented.
* We have tried multiple times to get new buttons for the elevator, but the lift maintenance company tell us they are no longer produced and impossible to source.
* Our staff are honest and professional. Our apologies for not being in uniform.
* Maintenance has recently retouched some of the scratched bathroom tiles and vanities. They are mid job and yet to be properly resprayed this week. I'll let them know you feel it was not a good look.
* Pricing is dynamic and always determined by supply and demand in any area. Our pricing is very reasonable and fair when compared to other similar properties in the area.
In summary, thank you for staying with us, we will take your criticisms on board and address them.

Thank you for your feedback. We are lucky to have our large, private outdoor car park around the back of the hotel.
Car spaces are not allocated according to room, but with plenty of parking there is usually enough spots for guests with 2 cars or additional boats or trailers. As you know, there is no underpass, so no height restrictions.
Parking is free for guests of the hotel and it is not necessary to pre-book a parking space.
Kind regards,
