Very disappointed
The whole point of booking here was so we could use the restaurant being a Monday and everything else would be closed.
Because they had an outside group booked for the restaurant we were unable to get a meal.
Very poor when the chef dictates who gets fed and who doesn’t

False advertising
An absolute lie from the wording and photos of the room I book to where I stayed. Supposedly elegant 4.5 star …. The room wouldn’t even be a 3 star. Shameful they can get away with advertising how they do!!

The bed was awful, there was mould in the bathroo. The heater smelt lilenit was going to catch fire, spiders and cobwebs around the room, wall paper peeling. Dirty finger prints all over the doors and walls. Stove top was dirty. I am digusted that this room cost us $240 AUD. We booked this from Australia just looking at the photos it looked ok. I have stayed in way nicer hotels on this trip that i paid less for. Absolutely disgusting

The room was very outdated and had a bad sewage smell in the bathroom. This room was nothing like what is advertised on the internet. Staff were great and tried to accommodate us with another room, however this property was fully booked.

Expensive room. Rated 4.5 star. Maybe 30 years ago. Nothing had changed since the 80s. Heat pump was 20 years old and didn’t work. And the whole property had a musty smell. Never again

Check in experience was shocking
Very dismissive - refused to check me in until after 1400 even though I said I don't want a room yet just wanted to get the check in requirement out of the way - No I was told that can only happen from 1400!!!!

I liked the efficient friendly reception on arrival. The value for money of the room.
I did not like the fact that there is no lighting on the desk while using my laptop.
I did not like that the shower is not a proper shower, i.e. it is accommodated in the bathtub.
