The service on arrival was warm, enthusiastic and thoughtful! Our room was as described (despite another booking fail with Expedia). Online the room was described as having ‘multiple beds’ but when we called to confirm this was the case the hotel didn’t have this information in our booking. This was the second time this happened on this trip. They were proactive about fixing this & we had a great room overlooking the park. Air conditioning struggled a little as the weather was incredibly hot. Bathroom had a broken toilet roll holder but otherwise the room was recently renovated and very clean. The thing that stood out about this property was the staff. So friendly! And always willing to help.

Thank you,we so enjoy all guests comments. yes can be extremely frustrating with some parts of your booking. we are here to try and help. By geez you were so correct, Victoria had about 5 days of Summer, and we had most when you stayed with us. We did leave aircons on, especially the Park side which get like saunas, they would have worked very hard. Thanks again. we did replace the toilet paper holder as soon as you informed us, however our housekeeper should have picked this up. Sorry

Thank you,What an ungrateful entitled guest ! How dare you give us this score, just because the Fire Alarm went off.This is for the safety of all, including you. I suppose you would rather stay in a 3rd world toilet, and burn to death. We did NOT PLAN this, it was your fellow guests COOKING in their room that set it off. And we fixed. In future we suggest you go an stay in hovell where nobody gives a care for your welfare.

Hello Robert,You where not impressed, Sorry you booked in the morning of your stay, please tell us WHAT DID YOU EXPECT, a view room ???? you got the last OF. and lucky to get the room, and really common sense would tell you NO VIEW rooms left. Nothing wrong with carpark views, better than what you would get elsewhere. Yes totally different picture, also depends on what site you are on. Over Priced, really you picked us because we were the CHEAPEST when you went onsite. and as usual you didn't read the full room descriptions, NO COOKING and only certain rooms have Microwaves, for heating ONLY. This is a NO COOKING MOTEL, too many people are very careless and set the alarms off. Honestly make sure you grace the Internationals in the CBD next visit, they will be pleased to look after you for at least twice the price of us. Have a great day.

Thank you Folks,Can be a mighty shock when you come and your Overseas Travel Agent placed you in non view room. I have explained many times, you book thru a computer system, it only sees vacant room, thence places you. Nothing to do with us. We place and advise what rooms are available, with OUR guests. Yes you can ask, if available not a problem.Travel safe, see you again

1. Too crowded to accommodate 3 persons in such a small room. Different from photos. 2. Only one chair in the room to sleep 3 persons, not as showed in the photo, although another chair was brought in upon request. 3. Huge noise when flushing toilet, especially at night. 4. Extra $50.00 will be required if you check to see if 30 minutes late checkout is possible. Not nice.

Hello Folks,Not a problem it was our pleasure to try and look after you and your group. Apparently we didn't succeed.You booked a Twin room, that is what you got, consist of 1 x Queen Bed and 1 x Single Bed, with more then adequate walking room between. You asked for another chair this we provided, did you want a chair for everyone ? why didn't you ask for another 2 chairs ? I went to your room and flushed the toilet, not sure what you are cranky about ! YES Late and Early Checks you have to pay, its on all the websites, as these requests put a big strain and inconveniences staff routines. YOU also forgot to mention how we gave you OUR microwave to help you out, even though your type room does NOT have microwaves....You are Welcome by the way. We will just try harder, that's all we can do.Hope you come again.
