Book at 11:52 pm 17/01/22 the room was advertised as 139 but turns out to be 170. Its all good since its CHEAP!!! Gone late for dinner and a few drinks with mates Im from Brisbane so better have a rest instead of going back. Arrived at the place at 2am there were 2 phone numbers that was posted on the door of the office theres an intercom but not working tried to call and leave a msg till my battery died end up wasting my time for an hour before decided to go back to Brisbane lucky not so tipsy but really tired. I demand a refund though the room cannot be cancelled.

Veey poor. Main light wasn't working. the bathroom window was stupidly low for just next to a toilet. Bathroom tap leaked constantly. Clock in the living room was far too noisy. Sign missing on the outside for one of the rooms. But the worst thing about the visit was the customer service. They refused to provide a refund or transfer to a different booking date (this is not commensurate with ACL) for a cancellation due to a bereavement in my partner's family (hence we thought I should go so that at least we would get our money's worth - although it meant that I could not attend the funeral).

This was absolute putrid! We stayed for 10 minutes and Im allergic to mould! I broke out in hives almost instantly, struggled to breath and the staff on the phone spoke with attitude as to if I was being a princess about it all! I live on property and I sleep in a swag 10 days at a time I can handle roughing it! But when you pay that much for something which isnt cheap at all, youd expect up keep in them. I lifted a blanket from the cupboard that was crazy heavy and realised there was no way that it had ever been washed as it was brown/yellow under neath! Never ever stay at this place

Reasonably cheap but facilities weren't great. Soap holder in the shower was broken. No tongue on the bedroom door to shut it. Fridge door could open by itself. Missing a lot of springs in foldout sofa. No cable TV and have to pay $5 extra per day to use air con. Not enough chairs or crockery and cutlery for 4 people.
