Disliked: Staff & service
Very disappointed. Organised a late check in, and even a second phone call to confirm same day. Arrived after midnight, no SMS or email as promised for late check in instructions. Attempts to call after hours line unanswered and no messages can be left. No answer at reception or doorbell. Ended up sleeping in my car around the corner. Wotif promised 24/7 check in and that's why I chose the place. Ruined my travel plans 😢

My Air Con didn't work, and I heard that others complained as well about theirs not working. Outside my room were 2 tables with people smoking, and it all could smell, so I had to shut it all up, and with no air conditioning, it was awful. I would never go back there.
