I think this hotel is over due for a refresh, for the money paid for the night the room and facilities left room for improvement.

The room was in bad shape. Missing the block out blinds in the living room. Door handle to bedroom was half coming off. Carpet was old. Balcony dirty.
Bathroom and Bedroom was ok. Kitchen had enough amenities.

I stayed at The Esplanade Resort and Spa during my recent trip to Lakes Entrance and it was definitely the nicest place to stay in the area. The resort served as a lovely home base for my vacation. The amenities were great, and the overall experience was wonderful. However, the only downside was the mattress on the bed, which was quite hard. Nonetheless, I would still recommend the resort to anyone visiting Lakes Entrance.

The listing promised a tennis court, but it was not available.
The food at the restaurant was very limited.
The condition inside was clean but very old and not maintained well.
The view from the room is very bad and not recommended.
