Disappointed

The room was clean. Bed was comfortable. Disappointed in the restaurant. We ordered room service at 8pm. Was told couldn’t do room service as they were too busy. Went past restaurant about 10 minutes later and they were packing up and very loudly talking about going to someone’s party. Not one person in the restaurant. Very disappointed

The property was lovely clean etc. The only thing i wanted to say was there was a spider under the sash on the end of the bed. There may have been more as I woke up with a sting on my chest and itchiness that has left a mark on my chest. I took an antihistamine that stopped the itching, the itchiness is still there. Thank you Vicky

A classic property in its Hey-Day and to some extent it is still, but poor communication at the moment. No notice given that there was a $200 cash bond (or $100 by card) and no notice given the pool would be shut. It is the pool that makes this place.

The room that I was originally allocated opened out to a number of aircon units, which were noisy with the balcony door open. I found this considerably challenging and upsetting, so raised my concerns with the reception staff. The manager appreciated my issues with the room, and was kind enough to move me to a nicer room, which I was very happy with. 10/10 for the service I received.

The hotel is old and needs to have a few face lifts. We turned off the fan for the hvac and a couple of hours later the room smelled like smoke. We could not figure out where it was coming from and then in the middle of the night we turned the fan back on and the smoke smell started to go away.

Very disappointed as we booked a suite to solely stay around the hotel, enjoy the facilities etc. At no time was it advertised that the pool was under Renovations. Not even when checked in, nothing was said. We were looking forward to a nice afternoon swimming and hanging out at the pool. The price was still as normal and not reduced, if we had of known we could have booked somewhere else.

Bizarre! A pool in reception? And children's games around the dining area? And dank, heavy grey paintwork everywhere? And no wi-fi in the bedrooms??!!! Well, really?!! Bunbury seems to be a desert as far as decent hotels are concerned, the only reason they can get away with the above
