Worst hotel property in Australia. Booked 7 rooms, we left in 5 mins after seeing the condition of the rooms and had to book somewhere else at a great cost. Semen stains on a couch; stench in rooms was unbearable; filthy in other rooms, mostly naked man with door open as we walked past. Dubios other clientele on property and woman half naked running between rooms. Do not book here!
