I recently stayed at the Ultimo Hotel, and while the property itself was nice, my experience at check-in left a lot to be desired. Upon arrival, I was met with an unwelcoming attitude from one of the front desk staff members. I was treated with impatience and rudeness. Was lied to, that our credit card was declined, but all it was, was that first transaction was missing the credit card surcharge. Steer clear of the tall blonde working at check in. Rest of the staff was nice, but pray you don’t have to deal with the lady we dealt with.

The Ultimo is currently undergoing huge renovations. They are adding a third floor! This means putting a crane in the lift well, the only place it can go, and the lift is out of action for the entire duration of the building. This is listed as "months" but in all likelihood will be longer. For two people having had knee replacement surgery it was a struggle to climb to the 1st floor. There was no mention of this that I could see on the wotif website when making the booking. The property overall was good, but this let it down - at least as far as I was concerned. (I wonder if anyone will get in touch with regards to this feedback).
