The property was lovely clean etc. The only thing i wanted to say was there was a spider under the sash on the end of the bed. There may have been more as I woke up with a sting on my chest and itchiness that has left a mark on my chest. I took an antihistamine that stopped the itching, the itchiness is still there. Thank you Vicky

A classic property in its Hey-Day and to some extent it is still, but poor communication at the moment. No notice given that there was a $200 cash bond (or $100 by card) and no notice given the pool would be shut. It is the pool that makes this place.

2 cockroaches in the room but it is what it is. Still nice facilities. Housekeepers were beautiful, receptionist seemed like she had better things to do but she closed and opened so can’t be mad. Pool not able to be used but that is not advertised when booking a room. Would we stay again. Probably.

The room that I was originally allocated opened out to a number of aircon units, which were noisy with the balcony door open. I found this considerably challenging and upsetting, so raised my concerns with the reception staff. The manager appreciated my issues with the room, and was kind enough to move me to a nicer room, which I was very happy with. 10/10 for the service I received.

The hotel is old and needs to have a few face lifts. We turned off the fan for the hvac and a couple of hours later the room smelled like smoke. We could not figure out where it was coming from and then in the middle of the night we turned the fan back on and the smoke smell started to go away.

Very disappointed as we booked a suite to solely stay around the hotel, enjoy the facilities etc. At no time was it advertised that the pool was under Renovations. Not even when checked in, nothing was said. We were looking forward to a nice afternoon swimming and hanging out at the pool. The price was still as normal and not reduced, if we had of known we could have booked somewhere else.

Bizarre! A pool in reception? And children's games around the dining area? And dank, heavy grey paintwork everywhere? And no wi-fi in the bedrooms??!!! Well, really?!! Bunbury seems to be a desert as far as decent hotels are concerned, the only reason they can get away with the above

Internet was very sporadic if we managed to get it at all. When we did it would last less than 5 minutes and then we would have to wait for ages to re-connect if at all so had to use own data. All tv channels were cutting in and out except abc channel and so much so that you could not watch anything especially all the channel nine channels. Couldn’t even connect to our Netflix or other accounts as internet was ridiculous.

Good location close to shops & beach. Hotel has some age and needs a refurbishment, windows dirty and needs cleaning. Very noisy inside & out, cars doing burn outs & general street noise. Car mirror was ripped off in outdoor car park which is elevated above street. Booked a family suite only to find out it was only a queen & single when advertised as 2 queens & a single. Had to pay $600 a night for a suitable 2 bed room. Very overpriced for an old run down hotel. Pool was under construction so no pool for kids. Not a great weekend with an expensive car repair bill.
