This property is disgusting. We did not stay but moved to another hotel. The Capricornia is filthy, unsafe and you should not have it in your portfolio. Gives Wotif a bad name

Very bad, no blankets available, there was a dirty bath towel in the fridge so couldn't be used at all (I took pictures) and the fridge was very noisy! No curtains to completely block the view, horrible!
