Room smelt damp. When we arrived there as a large wet patch outside the bathroom. The fan in the bathroom did not seem to work. The button to flush the toilet was broken as was the light above one of the beds. Despite staff looking at the tv, we were not able to purchase any movies. Carpet in common areas needs to be dry cleaned or updated as it was quite dirty and stained. Pool is too small for such a large hotel. Pool area, north bar and reception need more staff on in busy periods to tidy or serve.

We were very happy with the look of the room when we first entered however down the track we realise that the shower was difficult to get to rite (regarding the temperature & flow) and made a terrible noise the whole time we used it; further to that we found the bed extremely uncomfortable. We are literally sank into the bed and it felt like a water bed ..way too soft to be comfortable. When we asked for a small extension to the leaving time we were refused. So all in all; our experience was not exceptional but I would write it as average.

For the price we paid, we were disappointed. The beds were uncomfortable, there was no bedding for the pull out couch, the phone didn't work so we had to keep going down to the lobby to make requests etc. it was just not at all the treat we had hoped for.

As mentioned, the room I booked can easily accommodate four people, but there’s only one queen bed, so one of us had to sleep on the floor without a mattress. They did change the setup the next day, but after a long drive from Melbourne, it was a bit unexpected.
