My wife and I have travelled extensively in Australia and overseas, and stayed in hotels and hostels across the range of prices and qualities. Invariably I would say we have got what we paid for ie the price matched the star rating and quality.
But not so this hotel! The room we were allotted was in the far back of the motel, and appeared as though it had not been renovated since first built, many many years ago. The chip board furtniture is dated and falling apart, a stool seat is badly soiled, a part of the ceiling cornice is badly warped and falling, the bedside tables are separating from the wall, and bathroom fittings have been removed without any attempt to cover drill holes. In this DVD age, we could not believe that a VCR player was provided in the room (to play what, I wonder??). To cap off our welcome, this true blue Aussie 4* motel does not even provide the customary two pack of dry biscuits with the tea tray.
Central London has better one star hotels for less... more
