Staff were pleasant and accomodating. Hotel rooms need a serious revamp though. Small poorly lit room. No lace curtains under the drapes for basic privacy from the multiple neighbouring houses so had to keep curtains drawn all day with lights on. The worst bathroom I’ve come across in a hotel before. The bathroom of the classic room we got was exactly what you’d expect of an old hospital bathroom, only a hospital bathroom floor appears cleaner.

Stayed 2nights for a sports tournament. Just what we needed for a rest in the evenings. New World close by too for essentials. Parking our ute was our main reason for selecting Atura which was great. We opted for the eco (no-housekeeping) in return for the $10 credit which we used for coffees upon checkout. Overall very happy.

The Atura was easily accessed via the motorway and close to my conference facility. It was also convenient to the supermarket. The communal hallways smelled air-freshened. However, the room (913) would benefit from a deep clean rather than a superficial service. There was evidence of grease marking on the kitchenette bench. The extra blankets were clearly dumped in the drawers by the last guest, there were blood splatters and mould on the walls of the bathroom and a thick build-up of dust particularly around the carpet line and skirtings, along with slopped coffee or water or similar. I did wonder if the toilet was cleaned before or after my fresh towels were hung (on a rail directly adjacent to the toilet) as the toilet seat was up on arrival. I understood on arrival that I could use the no daily service vouchers against my room cost only to discover on departure that I could only use it on food or beverages (which I did not require). I also encountered another guest on arrival who was requesting a full room service due to the filthy state of it. Check in staff asked him to clarify the elements that required attention - his response was "all of it". On arrival to my room, it appeared that this is a consistent issue and that most guests probably wouldn't mention it to staff but reflect it in ratings. Would I stay at Atura again? No. I'd stay in accommodation that I have previously that was cleaner. I'd Uber to and from a conference facility instead of staying at the Atura.

I was quoted $124 as per Expedia and the charges was more than $230 - which I had to pay as the booking was confirmed already and would have penalized myself into paying the full amount anyway. The bathroom mirror was dirty, the shower was wet inside with cleaning liquid still on the floor and slippery, the bed was not made properly and the linen smelled dusty. As per the advert, there was suppose to be air-conditioning in the room, but there was not and having to open the windows for cool air it allowed noise from the outside. The food was very good and of very good quality. Really enjoyed the breakfast and the coffee. Not very happy about the charges and the cleanliness of the rooms.

This isn't a review, rather a comment. I think it'd be helpful if there were more luggage trolleys available. At check out time I asked for one to be brought to our room and after 15 mins gave up waiting. I was told later,at reception, that the one trolley that could have been available was already in use. I wondered why there was only one. I admit such trolleys are bulky. Overall our stay was good.

Great place for a quick work visit. Comfortable bed. Quiet area. The only disappointment I had was the cost of the breakfast was astronomical for the very little options. I also had to (on top of what I paid) pay for a flat white which was very weak. The eggs were super runny and almost not cooked enough. Apart from that, the staff were amazing and a nice small room.
