Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room did not match the photographs. The room itself had dirty curtains that were falling off the railing. They were not any blackout curtains. The furnishings did not match and the bedside table was completely unstable. There was a service hole that had half fallen out of the roof. I paid for a Queen size bed but only got as double. The bathroom had tiles popping off the wall, there was cracks in architrave, and a combined bath/shower facility that had a cheap plastic curtain attached to a rusted out shower railing. There were no handles or steps for climbing in and out of the bath/shower which has to be a hazard. Again, we were promised first rate consumables that never appeared, but I can say that the body wash matched the shampoo which also matched the hand soap. After the reception I got when I checked in, we were not going to use the restaurant so we went across the road to the Rydges where the staff and experience was the complete opposite. All up, one night cost me $414. Ditch this place - go to the Rydges.

Take your own pillow!

A very tired hotel room. Desperately needs a makeover - particularly the bathroom. I wish I’d taken my own pillow, as I usually do, but we were only staying for one night, so I didn’t bother - big mistake. There wasn’t a decent pillow among 6 of them in the room! The bed would be comfortable if a mattress topper was added. The restaurant was excellent though. Dinner last night was amazing as was the service. Breakfast was basic but enough.

Poorly maintained. No towels or tissues on arrival, torn drapes, dirty skirting boards, broken toilet seat, soap residue build up on bottom of shower glass, rain shower head had a build up of something discolouring it so we used the normal shower head instead and the shower drains looked dirty. Terrible value as one night cost approximately the same as two nights in an excellent hotel in Bundaberg. On a positive note the restaurant was good. Food and service was excellent.

Great staff, but disappointing room.

Great location, friendly staff, but beneath the surface is a very shabby hotel. The room was just worn out and they had literally slapped some paint around to make it look brighter, but looking just a bit closer and you could see that it was extremely shoddy, even comical in some places. The room was dusty with spider webs in the corners and scuffing all over the walls. I leave my final comment for the bathroom. I am fine with an older bathroom which was clean and functional, but it smelled of old sewage. Not enough to be overpowering, but enough for you to not want to use the bathroom. It's a real pity because on the surface the hotel looks great and you can see that the staff are lovely and doing their best, but the facility needs a serious revamp.

I stay in motels for work all over Australia. Best Westerns are usually a safe bet. This one was disappointing from the check in. The staff were rude. Wrong personalities for front counter. Then i checked into room - there was a huge gap above the door, like the building has had movement and the frame is not fitted to door. Road noise came in because of the gap. The bathroom has a shower curtain that had Mould on it. No bench in bathroom to put your stuff down. i could feel every spring in the bed. Really disappointing. It was however close to everything.

No light switch, power point or lamp near bed. Had to cross room to turn off light & walk back in dark to bed also unable to charge phone near bed.
