Got charged bar minibar consumption even though we didnt use anything from the minibar. Staff asked us on Sunday morning at checkout and after we said no we hadnt used anything she replyed no problem , goodbye. Then i see at 6.30pm sunday night a withdrawal from my account. I then ring the hotel and argue my case. They say they will refund but the point is they have taken money from me without my authority and afrer reception staff had already accepted my response.they didnt even check the minibar at checkout ,so they took my word for it that we used nothing, but rhen reversed their actions once we had left, kind of like they thought we wouldnt notice the transaction on our bank statement... Very untrustworthy behaviour.the room was fine but I wont stay there again.

We are tourists and have been travelling all over WA. Staying in multiple hotels. All have requested holiday deposits. Best Western required AUD $200 for 1night stay. On check out they said it’s down to our bank to give us the deposit back and not them! Absolute nonsense as this hasn’t happened anywhere else. Disgusting behaviour from a global corporate hotel chain. It’s unlikely I will get this back until I’m back in the UK

Posted Nov 22, 2025 At check-in another customer was complaining about the aircon not working and that the staff were not truthful about it, I asked whether it worked in my room prior to checking in and was assured it was, it wasn't! Unbearably hot night with work the next morning! I contacted Expedia and was told to check out and find other accommodation and they would organise a refund, I did, only to be told 2 days later that there would be no refund! I would like to be contacted regarding this!

Room layout & size was great. But...No wine glasses - charge of $20 for 2 glasses. Internet was down. Cutlery was 1 knife and fork, no teaspoons. Fridge needs replacing - handle broken, freezer door came off every time you opened it. Noticeable time delay before bathroom light came on; longer if a long time between use. We were offered two complimentary coffees for no internet. Hmmm!
