Vair

External to rooms was unkept eg all tiled areas very dusty including large good courtyard and stairs, ashtrays left uncleaned for what appears weeks, but inside roomy rooms they were clean and tidy and well serviced as was the pool. Noise from neighboring home was unacceptable and police could have been called but no staff in attendance and difficult to contact.

The rooms were very spacious and comfortable, the bed and pillows were great. Check in/out was very easy. However, the rooms need better soundproofing from people passing the walkway in front of the room (especially entering/exiting the kitchen early in the morning) and there were some minor cleaning issues (dirty mug, stain on couch).

Very average hotel room. I wouldn’t return due to lack of facilities and room standard. Reception very low key. Handed key and staff walked away. Not the most welcoming place really. Didn’t expect any fanfare but a smile wouldn’t go astray

Generally good
Easy and friendly reception, good undercover parking. There are stairs and a lift to the first floor. Convenient location for looking around Bendigo. The room was clean and bed very comfy. The carpet was clean but looked very old. Also the spa bath was very enjoyed but did look like it had seen better days

This was a really comfortable bed and tidy room. The spa was the reason I bought the room and I made good use of it. There is a lovely open area to read and there were kids swimming in the pool. I'd definitely stay there again.

The reception person was the worst kind I've ever met or encountered. He was rude about the checkout time which I politely asked for extension and when the time was up the idiotic reception 'trash' came to knock on the door and demanded that we leave the room immediately and was disgustingly rude. And when I confronted him about his rudeness he started to shout and even 'swear' foul language in front of my children. This type of 'trash' shouldn't be working in customer service and he is a liability and big 'turn-off' to would-be customers. Please convey this message to the owner of the hotel to remove him ASAP before he ruined the business !!!
