Average experience in a dilapidated hotel defined by poor customer service
Pros:

Location was great

Cons:

Staff were poor communicators and not invested in the guest experience
The toilet cistern ran constantly during our stay - after the first night of running water in our room I asked the staff to check it out the response I got was not apologetic or helpful but dismissive and not my problem
Would question whether the message was acted on at all - issue persisted for our entire stay

Cons:

Middle of winter and the bed clothing consisted of a "summer" sheet and one flimsy blanket. Unbelievable.

Pros:

It was in a good location

Cons:

It was dirty, the paint was pealing, the plaster cracked, the staff grumpy, the carpets dirty and frayed.
I’ve been stayed in shared hostels around Australia and this hotel was worse than some of them for a much higher price
