I’ve never stayed in such an overpriced, dated & unclean hotel/resort in all my years of traveling around the world & more disappointingly this ones on our shores! After our first of 11 nights ($220p/n), there were major Covid changes to the Victorian border that had me concerned that we should return earlier to avoid stricter changes. I had asked reception if we could shorten our trip due to this with a refund (free cancellation wasn’t an option at time of booking). With a lack of empathy displayed she advised she would need to speak to management. The next day it was confirmed that only a credit note would be issued & that would need to be used within 12 months. This wasn’t an option as we had already been in Queensland for a week & having to return & especially to a hotel of such poor maintenance was a poor solution along with poor customer service. She recommended I email the manager. I did so via this site & I still hadn’t received a reply, more than 10 days later!! Another display of poor customer service.
The cleanliness of the room was of concern too. When I mentioned it to the receptionist a day after check in, she questioned why this wasn’t raised at check in. At first glance, there was dust & an old ripped off sticker on the glass coffee table! The walls hadn’t seen a coat of paint or wash down for over 30 years, hence the scuff marks throughout was disgusting! The beds only had one extra pillow for 2 people with uncomfortable bed toppers. Tiles were chipped & mould in the bathroom. Dirt around door handles, dead bugs in light fixtures, water leak damage around the kitchen tap, broken fridge shelf on the door, dusty timber doors that divide the room, not to mention one of these doors were missing!! Dirty kettle & toaster, rusted clothes horse on balcony & the washing machine wasn’t in your room as advertised, instead it was outside in the hallway & one that needed to be shared with your neighbour!! The only good thing about this room was the view as we were on the 13th floor!! I really expected much more from a $220 p/n room. Knowing they took advantage of travelers through Covid restrictions by lifting up the prices is utterly disgusting! Give this place a wide berth!
