Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It’s never a good look when you pull back the covers of the bed to reveal someone else’s hair. Sitting on the toilet was a rocky event as it wasn’t securely attached to the floor. A very roughly done bathroom upgrade has it looking grimy and icky. No tv remote and the first room I asked to get moved from was mouldy and stinky. Convenient to spirit of Tasmania terminal but if you want some sleep stay somewhere else as it’s super noisy here too.
