One of the reasons that I choose this hotel was for the continental breakfast, but they gave me nothing. Also, the kettle was dirty with mould, so I couldn’t even drink a coffee.

When we got there the staff didn't know anything about it being booked through Wotif. We only stayed one night instead of 2 because the job was finished early, We paid for the one night but had to pay 100 dollars deposit for the key and they said it would be back in our account in 4 days. Its now been seven days and nothing. To top it of Wotif billed out account for 2 days after we got back so basically we have been ripped of. Will deal direct from now with Motels
