Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Really disappointed with this hotel. We booked based on previous wotif ratings. When we arrived we were given a key to room 9 (family room as booked). The room had not been serviced and was still dirty as left by previous guests. Allocated another room. Key did not work. Manager used pass key to get in. Not a family room, just 2 beds and a sofa bed. Asked if child could sleep on sofa and we reluctantly said yes but that we were in a rush to get to a wedding and that room service would need to make the bed up. On return to room at 9pm, bed had not been made up. Called manager who sent lady up who had no idea how to manage, using seat cushions as pillows until we asked for proper pillows. Outside areas were dirty, kettle inside room was just disgustingly old and dirty so we didn’t use it. Only positive was that it was quiet. Poorly managed with no attention to guests. I would not recommend this. $267 for the one night. No apologies from managers/reception.

Quick overnight stay

Having been to Bendigo many years prior it was a return visit for us. Staff at reception helpful and efficient. An opportunity to catch up with family in this city. Easy travelling to a convenient location. Driving was easy and location was near a service station for us when leaving

Vair

External to rooms was unkept eg all tiled areas very dusty including large good courtyard and stairs, ashtrays left uncleaned for what appears weeks, but inside roomy rooms they were clean and tidy and well serviced as was the pool. Noise from neighboring home was unacceptable and police could have been called but no staff in attendance and difficult to contact.

The rooms were very spacious and comfortable, the bed and pillows were great. Check in/out was very easy. However, the rooms need better soundproofing from people passing the walkway in front of the room (especially entering/exiting the kitchen early in the morning) and there were some minor cleaning issues (dirty mug, stain on couch).

Very average hotel room. I wouldn’t return due to lack of facilities and room standard. Reception very low key. Handed key and staff walked away. Not the most welcoming place really. Didn’t expect any fanfare but a smile wouldn’t go astray
