Reception staff were not at the desk all four times I went through on the first night, luckily someone heard me call out as no international calling. No idea where the restaurant is or room service menu so I ate out. The pool, spa and sauna are all unable to be used as being updated, my balcony was also locked off so unable to be used. My bedroom TV wasn't plugged into the antenna and when discovering this and connecting it myself I found a previous guests sock and alot of dust. The only positive was the bed was comfy and housekeeping staff were lovely. I told reception at check out I didn't enjoy my stay, won't recommend or stay again and he said he would pass that on to the Manager - they clearly don't care as I checked out 2 weeks ago and no one reached out.

The staff were not not overly helpful, especially the lady at reception. Breakfast was away from the hotel and not accessible for a wheelchair (I broke my leg). They confirmed it was wheelchair friendly and should have notified us when they saw breakfast was included in our package. No help to resolve the issue!! Poor effort won't be back

Dirty room. Stinky room. Trash found in cupboard and never cleaned. Soap ran out but never refilled. Already asked staff to handle but did not help even on the last day of our stay. Staff unhelpful in general. Told the trainee staff our issue but she could not help, so had to seek advice from manager. But when manager comes, the trainee staff just stood there and expect us to explain everything again. She could have talked to manager about the situation, why expect the customers to deliver the message again. we asked if we could have some take away breakfast since we had to catch a coach for skydiving early in the morning at 0630.The hotel manager insisted that nothing can be done, it's outsourced so limited options. We kept persuading and he finally agreed to try calling the restaurant for a packed breakfast. We expect him to help us without the need to persuade!why make our life so difficult ?
The is the cupboard when we opened. Terrible.... We asked them to clean up properly, but they didn't even on the last day of our stay.

Room was dated and noisy. Balcony door was locked due to window cleaning which happens several months each year. Parking ($58pn) was very limited and designed for small cars. I had to seek assistance from Reception to access the carpark and then find a car space. Only positive was the staff member who accompanied me to the carpark and assisted with finding car space - thank you

The hotel has old furnishings. Currently it is supposed to take a year to repair the pool and we did not have access to our balcony because which would have been nice to eat outside. Our other family’s room was the kind of room and a little nicer. They could eat on their balcony. Kind of thought we should not be charged as much because we were not provided the same amenities. It was nice to have a kitchenette and washer and dryer in the room. It is a good location because it is right near a train station. I would probably stay here again because of convenience. Did not feel breakfast was worth $38.00 extra so we did not ask for that. Staff were kind.
