Pros:

Good location in the heart of Wonthaggi.

Cons:

Rooms were not made up when we arrived. Had to wait a few hours to check in properly, after the stated check in time.


One of the seemingly permanent residents made us feel uncomfortable.

Pros:

The bed was big and comfy. Wifi was very good. The 15% discount on meals downstairs in the hotel was a nice surprise

Cons:

The bathrooms were pretty old and not cleaned daily.
The door to our room was very difficult to close. There were no lights in the communal dining and kitchen area making it very difficult to make coffee etc at night.

Great time in a new place. Above+Beyond expectation. Highly recommend if looking for a chill time ⭐
Pros:

Great location, excellent staff (special mention to Nic the manager who is ån extraordinary human - highly accommodating, genuine and professional - had lost/left several belongings behind which were not only located but also returned back via post c/o Nic.)
Welcoming venue with good people and an enjoyable vibe.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cons:

The closing time for a Saturday night was oddly early.
And myself and my friend were told there was nothing else open in the town. 😒🤷

Would not stay there again
Pros:

The price was good and location where I needed to be

Cons:

Not clean. Bathroom left in unusable state. Had to ask for Batman’s extra towels, toilet paper not restocked, one of the toilets had no paper. No mirrors at a realistic height to be able to apply my make up. coffee station, there was coffee and milk but no sugar, The water machine had no water in it and had not been filled. Whoever was in charge of stocking supplied had had neglected to do their job on a weekend

If you’re in need of a cheap bed for the night, this place is perfect. No luxuries.
Pros:

It was cheap

Cons:

Nowhere to access clean drinking water, the water cooler was empty and the bottles empty. The taps in the bathroom were only hot so had nowhere to get drinking water.
Cleanliness of bathroom was poor.
