Standards Slipping Badly

2.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 10 Jul 2022
We have been using this as our acommodation when travelling overseas for at least 10 years but our recent stay here means we wont be back.
Our room before our trip was bad. Dirty stains on carpet, unclean linen and no shower products in room. Luckily on the way back we had a clean room but we were overcharged. I showed them my confirmation but they refused to acknowledge it and said we had been sent the wrong one. Since then they have failed to respond to any communications.
They do have a great shuttle service but it wont be enough to entice us back.

Do not stay here if there is any chance you might have to cancel
or change your booking. We had booked 2 rooms and due to covid needed to change our booking. In no way will they accommodate a change nor can you get a refund.
We felt in these covid times and the fact there has been increasing covid numbers again that they would change our booking but no we had to pay again. To say we are disgusted is an understatement. Needless to
say we lost all our money and we will never ever think of staying there again.

Room tip: Do not stay here if here if there is any chance you have to cancel or change your booking you will lose any money you have paid

If I could give zero stars I would. I called to try resolve an issue with my card, as advised by Booking.com email to contact the hotel directly. The lady on the phone was rude, abrupt, talked over top of me, wouldn't answer my questions, raised her voice. The conversation escalated and I hung up after calling her customer service appalling. She refused to let me speak to anyone else. I called back to speak to a manager and was told they weren't a available and was hung up on. I called again to ask WHEN they would be available as I wanted to make a complaint. The lady was yelling raising her voice and ranting at me. I ended up emailing the manager who was equally unprofessional. Accused me of abusing his staff which is completely untrue. I was frustrated but not abusive. He refused to acknowledge my complaint about the staff members conduct, kept turing it back to me and the issue with my card (which I have no idea about as I provided the correct details and had funds available etc.) This company DOES NOT take responsibility for their service or behaviour. It is the cusotmers fault and they can do no wrong. Very sad attitude especially when they are likely struggling in the current climate of covid and increased costs etc. You'd think they would be customer focussed but sadly they are not. As is evident by the MANY reviews saying the same.

Motel on busy road, fairly close for studio units. Efficient process getting organised to get to airport.
Not so good on pickup - waited 1/2 hour on cold night. ,our vehicle was ready waiting. Ideal for those early morning flights.

First note of the low level of cleaning standards was fingerprints with some kind of food on the Kettle. I was then having issues with the internet which stopped my work. Requested to check out the following day and cancel my remaining 3 days, which I was advised I would not get refunded for remaining stays.
Spatula still had dried food on it and there were crumbs in the utensil draws. Charis are simply GROSS! Stained and in desperate need of recovering or at least a steam clean.
AC unit made loud constant squealing noise.
Rate charged was not on the cheap side at $188 a night
Wrote to manager with pictures etc, They didn't bother replying

I was leaving the room to meet my shuttle (the shuttle I had to argue for as apparently 24 hours doesn’t mean 24 hours anymore) when I the cockroach I had in my filthy room ran into my bag. I met the shuttle therefore 1 minute after my booked time, by which time the driver was already verbally abusing my partner for my absence. I said sorry, I was dealing with a cockroach in your room, he yelled at me and was extremely rude, I put my bag in the back and got inside to get away from him (forgot my mask in the stress) he lost the plot then and screamed, I put my mask on instantly, but he’d already thrown all our bags out onto the street and then threw me out too. Never have I been treated so badly, I’m shocked and upset not only that I paid for this, had to deal with filth and cockroaches but mostly that I was verbally abused by staff and refused the (included and guaranteed shuttle) Never use this hotel. I booked it for the shuttle service but it turns out Uber is $13 to the airport with fast polite service. Should have booked a nicer and cheaper hotel with no shuttle and not put myself through this.
