The fact that we booked a room with a spa bath and then get told the spa bath doesn’t work as they have no spas anymore. Even tho it still says on all websites and social media that they have luxury spa rooms. There were only 2 towels for a room with 2 double beds. The TV didn’t work and we had to call someone to fix it. The second room we booked wasn’t ready for over an hour after we checked in at 3. Staff were not helpful at all. The place is tired and unclean. Rooms didn’t look like the images online. no extra blankets or throw cushions. mismatched chairs with the table. Barely any extras and 2 tiny pottles of milk for 3 people. I feel completely ripped off and would never recommend this property. I have never had such awful customer service at any property ever. I booked this place as a surprise luxury booking for our kids to enjoy, with a spa bath etc and had nothing but a sad awful experience. Horrible place.

Room was ok, was out dated and need of renovations. For the price I was little disappointed.
Room was out dated. No view. Felt that I was put in the back of the hotel in an old room without views or near anything because we booked through second party.

Plenty of space in our room and good sized bathroom, also a kitchenette. We also loved the balcony. There was a spa bath as well but we didn’t use it. The beds were extremely comfortable. The first two nights we were provided with spa sized towels which we loved using following our showers. We appreciated parking at the rear of the hotel.
I had to ask for a new box of tissues as the box in the bathroom was empty on arrival. 👍 Also on the third day we were not supplied with towels. I only realised that about 10pm, so rang reception and two bath towels were supplied straight away. 👍 These niggles are so small however, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. One other thing, we had lunch in the Atrium on Thursday and I found it very draughty. Great food though.

The main areas of the hotel were clean and attractive. Our room was clean and big with lots of windows and fresh, sulfuric air from nearby geysers! The parking amenities are very good.
The hotel is very outdated and worn. The shower was very worn - maybe from using geothermic water? It wasn't noted anywhere. The shower head was very old and sprayed in many directions. The room had 2 beds but one was broken. The kettle didn't work. We could hear every bump of the surrounding rooms... footsteps all around. It was a noisy night. We were meant to have a landmark view but all we could see was the racecourse... Wouldn't call that a landmark. The breakfast was $20 so we opted out and went to a nearby cafe.

Room was spacious with two queen beds. Clean, older room but great price and location, perfect for a short overnighter. Will stay here again.
No toaster. Reception girl was very sullen and didn't smile once as we checked in. Checkout girl much friendlier!
Missing a bedside cabinet on one side of each bed as there was only one in the middle, but not the end of the world.

The staff were great. Room was comfy and clean.
The lack of appliances. Not being allowed to play music off my phone on a Saturday night and getting told to turn it off at 20:55. Coming into the room without putting the service sign on the door to replace towels not impressed. The next morning getting locked out of our room at 0953 then having to stand in reception to get another key so we could retrieve our belongings. Be aware if you stay here all you will get is a kettle and teaspoons.

Large room size, Friendly staff
Very disappointed with the bond system!
$100 Bond is ok but this should have been refunded on the day of departure then I get a lame excuse that the refund facilities of the hotel has been reached for the day when the hotel was at best only 50% occupied. It is now 2 days later and no bond refund!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bathroom was well cleaned, and the beds were properly made. Outside hotel appealing is good.
there were spider webs inside the rooms at some places.
The carpet wasn't properly cleaned.
They are taking $100 bond on arrival as they mentioned in their policy, but they must have to tell in advance on a receipt or along with the confirmation
