Pros:

Staff stay very professionnal.

Cons:

l'hôtel est en rénovation et les photos fournies sur le site ne sont pas contractuelles. La chambre est sans internet car ils changent de provider et c'est un bungalow de chantier avec tous les autres ouvriers de la mine qui se lèvent dès 6h00. A oublier rapidement vu le prix. Le personnel reste super professionnel cependant.

The hotel is under renovation and the photos on the website are not representative of the actual hotel. The room has no internet because they're changing providers, and it's a construction site bungalow with all the other mine workers getting up at 6:00 AM. Best forgotten regarding the price. Staff stay very professionnal.

Disappointing from start to finish
Pros:

How close it was to where I needed to be

Cons:

Given very little help with checking in. Couldn’t use bathroom facilities as the lights were blown, had to use a phone torch just to use the toilet, showering out of the question.
Quiet hours not enforced, someone playing loud music until after midnight.
On return to Kalgoorlie on the way home it was the only place available so thought I would give it a seconds go. Ended up delayed and asked to cancel my booking 3 days prior. Zero response, no refund. Contacted them again still no response. Disgusting effort

Nice renovation works compleated in the last year.
Pros:

The hotel was in a convenient spot at the top of the main street, it was easy to walk down to where I needed to be during my stay for work.

Cons:

The noise outside, there needs to be better sound insulation on these rooms considering the people from the hostel over the road screaming until 1 to 2 am in the morning,
