The hotel is really far from the train station- at least 30-minutes on the bus and it cost a fair bit in taxi fares also. But what upset us the most was the cleanliness of the room- the bathroom floor and shower floor and shower walls were covered in other people's pubic hairs. They weren't ours, because they were there as soon as we walked into the room. There were also remnants of someone else's business in the toilet, so the toilet had clearly not been cleaned either. It was evident the floors hadn't even as so far been swept clean between clients, let alone vacuumed and mopped. The shower was also filthy with mould and clearly not cleaned properly either.
The staff were quite unfriendly and treated us as though we were second-rate for having booked on Wotif. There were signs all over the place in the dining area when having breakfast with rules and instructions- it makes one feel as though they are in Kindergarten once more.
A terrible experience, would rather have slept in a backpacker hostel. At least it would be cleaner.
