We are tourists and have been travelling all over WA. Staying in multiple hotels. All have requested holiday deposits. Best Western required AUD $200 for 1night stay. On check out they said it’s down to our bank to give us the deposit back and not them! Absolute nonsense as this hasn’t happened anywhere else. Disgusting behaviour from a global corporate hotel chain. It’s unlikely I will get this back until I’m back in the UK

Posted Nov 22, 2025 At check-in another customer was complaining about the aircon not working and that the staff were not truthful about it, I asked whether it worked in my room prior to checking in and was assured it was, it wasn't! Unbearably hot night with work the next morning! I contacted Expedia and was told to check out and find other accommodation and they would organise a refund, I did, only to be told 2 days later that there would be no refund! I would like to be contacted regarding this!

Room layout & size was great. But...No wine glasses - charge of $20 for 2 glasses. Internet was down. Cutlery was 1 knife and fork, no teaspoons. Fridge needs replacing - handle broken, freezer door came off every time you opened it. Noticeable time delay before bathroom light came on; longer if a long time between use. We were offered two complimentary coffees for no internet. Hmmm!
