Laurieton Hotel

The water wasn’t working for the first 24 hours. There were tradies renovating other rooms/on the roof. They needed access to our room to run cables. All of this with now pre-warning from the venue. We were offered a complimentary drink after complaining. But honestly, the rate should have been lower…

Didnt "not like" anything but some suggestions. As mentioned, freshly renovated. We even suspect it may have been finished the morning we arrived as there was builders dust on the floor and tape on the bathroom mirror helping support it until the wall glue went off. The new bed was on castors on a newly laid faux timber floor so when sitting up in bed, the bed rolled away. Suggest castor cups to prevent that. The beautifully renovated bathroom had no shelf to hold a toiletries bag. The new bathroom door is likely to swell very quickly from the splashed water and condensation from the shower - perhaps inexpensive shower wall lining from bunnings might prevent that. Somewhere to put the electric jug near a power point? Maybe a shelf over the bar fridge and a fixed power board rather than an extension cord on the floor? We were only there for an overnight stay so our room was designed for that - rooms 1 and 2 only have a bed and a bathroom. If you have a choice, book room 1 as you have an outdoor covered area overlooking a carpark to use. Room 2 has no outdoor area and looks at a wall 1 metre (across a common walkway) from the window so could be claustrophobic for some. Rooms 3 to 8 are double sized and still under renovation so not sure of final layout but suspect may have a small lounge/dining area (perhaps sofabed??) But all have the outdoor area.

Was old not that clean.

The rooms are tired and the Hotel plans to renovate them, which is great. There is a lot of noise through the walls.

The room (No 2) was due for renovation some 30 years ago. Bathroom facilities appalling.

Last renovated in the 1960s
Water damage evident through walls surrounding bathroom
Large, deep puddle formed outside front door
Two doors on opposite sides of the room
Permanent vent window above rear door let in drafts
Obvious damage to mirror
Supplied kettle had melted plastic inside
Only one accessible PowerPoint in the room
Bed frame was totally collapsed on left side
All lights were bright and harsh blue white
Mini fridge location blocked front door from open more than half way, always had to turn sideways to get into room

Room very old from the 60/70s needs updating

The room had mouldy walls and a mouldy bathroom. There qas powder on the bathroom floor qhoch tells me the room wasnt clraned properly. There had been something spilled on the blanket and blanket not changed and it didnt look good. Was so so so noisy. There was no parking near my room. The guy in the bottle shop where i collected key qas pretty blase about everything. And if i asked for anything he would sigh quite heavily. All in all pay the extra 25 to 45 and stay somewhere else
