Pros:

What an absolute disgusting disgrace!

I wrote to this establishment and gave them a choice to refund my night and the cost it took me to write the complaint and relive the disgust we endured by reviewing the photos.
There are only 8 photos allowed. I have 30. I also have a comprehensive report of the breakdown of everything wrong with this business.
The business chose not to give me a refund. So now I want everyone to see how filthy our room was on entry.
If anyone is interested in this report, please feel free to reach out.

We checked in approx 6.40pm after 3 hrs of driving, exhausted & ready to relax. Rm 11 appeared tidy at first glance, but when we checked the bathroom, we were horrified. The mould was so pervasive & disgusting that it made us feel sick in our stomachs. There’s green, pink & black mould. All varying stages. Zoom in for full effect.

Other issues in the bathroom included:
•Stains on the base of tub
•A decrepit-looking spa
•Pee residue left on toilet
•Tape still around vents from recent painting
•Hardware left on the bench where it had fallen off
•Makeup stains left on the bench

After further inspection:
• Cobwebs in the ceiling corners
• A ceiling fan caked with yrs of dust
•Furniture bolted to the walls (who would want to steal it), paint around it
•Old, worn timber furniture in dire straits
•A TV mounted poorly w dust & faulty
•A filthy phone
•A freezer that didn’t work and had dirty seals
•The carpet was in awful condition, adding to the grimy feel
