We arrived and reception not open (listed as open till9pm). Rang number on door and told it was overbooked. While waiting for the call to be returned the place looked more like a homeless youth centre with young people standinf outside sharing what ever they were smoking. Caller then checked us in at another property that was exceptional. All this was very strange as we had received a confirmation email 2 days before.

Staff tried to charge me double the Wotif rate - $380 per night instead of $380 for 2 nights - and didnt back down until l fired up my computer to show them, even then no apology. Very rudimentary service of the room on the middle day. Reception only open short hours, from 9am. Property no doubt very nice in its time.
