There is no restaurant, no cutlery in the room. Heating/cooling is very noisy . The strong cleaning smell dissipates with the windows open. Its not offensive.

Filty dirty, other than the bed sheets, everything else was grimy and old. Restaurant was closed so no dining. Too add insult to injury they charge $167 for a room that I would not let me pets live in. Clean up your act!

A list is needed: 1. Steak place is long gone, NO restaurant. 2. No room service (maybe because owner and drinking buddies in their private bar look like they are running down the old stock and can't man reception in the morning) 3. Pool is green and scary 4. BBQ and surrounding is a refugee site 5. Rooms smell of mould and industrial cleaning fluids 6. Showers mouldy 7. Rooms tiny and dark (till you turn on the fluorescent lights) 8. Grumpy reception guy sitting in front of a war memorial of Vietnam snaps (good prep for what you are about to endure) Sad sad place with no redeeming features. All the pictures you may see on wotif are pre-war. They are not a true representation of the current state of the premises. Also, it's very expensive for where it is!
