Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I am really disappointed with this hotel. I requested a queen bed, but they pushed two single beds together, and I woke up with back pain. In Australia, you expect honesty, but this feels like a scam. The room was dirty, had no amenities, and not even drinking water. This is unacceptable.

Staff - when I got to the front desk I was given a form with the wrong room booked on it. This was sorted after I retrieved my itinerary and receipt of payment, but now they are telling me that I never paid for my room and requesting $516 payment to be made to them.
