Overpriced and outdated

This place is straight out of the 1950's. Tiny room, bed as hard as a rock, shower curtain type shower in an equally small bathroom, too small to dress in. No exhaust fan, winder mechanism to open the bathroom window was broken. Carpet was dirty and the room was musty. Furnishings look like they were picked up from hard waste. AC was good and it was quiet (no road noise). Linen was clean & fresh. TV worked. One tiny UHT milk handed over at check in for 2 people to have a coffee. Paid $205 for a night - ridiculous overcharge.

You get what you pay for. The place is old but... It is clean, the bed is comfortable, the air con effocnet and quiet and did I mention it was clean? Bill was an excellent t mmhost when the Ferry was three hours late. Nothing seemed a bother so excellent customer service as well. As an over nighter you can't fault the place for value for money.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It is a joke. The laughing stopped when I remembered how much we paid. Multilingual staff have limited English. One uncomfortable chair in the room for two people. Dirty, spider webs on the ceiling, no bathroom exhaust fan. The cleaner uses the reading lamp electricity wall plug and does not plug the lamp back in. Three glasses. One side plate, no other plates. Local pub was shut. Really old SD TV so I doubt if it can be used for streaming video. No wifi unless you go to the office to ask for a user name and password. Then there are also a few negatives, like $205 per night for a room that is unfit for purpose.

We didn't even stay 10 minutes. The bathroom was mouldy and the toilet leaked. The was old, too red and smelled damp It was unfit and unhealthy for my young child to sleep there. Late on a Friday night, I had to quickly find another room at my own expense. Do not stay here.
