Mattress severely uncomfortable and caused back pain, blood stain on the bedding, no quilt or proper blanets supplied, air conditioning did not work, showers full of mould. Accommodation over all needs upgrading for price. However, staff were incredibly friendly and helpful!

The staying at the Hotel was reasonable good, that is, room very clean, good quality linen bed sheets, and room in good order. My predicament now is how I recover the $50.00 dollar key room deposit that I payed at the Lakes Hotel. Who is responsible to refund that money, The Lakes Hotel or the LastMinute? Because I have contacted Lola three times over the phone, apparently the Lakes Hotel Manager, but it has been impossible to recover the $50.00 dollars key room deposit. Is there any specific protocol to follow to recover that money? Please let me know. My email: loncenp.el@gmail.com

Surprisingly good and the mattresses were so comfortable! The whole decor on the guest room floor is 50's retro and truly this place is a hidden gem! At $85 a night for a twin room, you expect very little but The Lakes was more than great. Like I said, a hidden gem
