It was disappointing that there was no accessible areas for a disabled person. No toilets were accessible, for such a renowned hotel this was disgraceful and behind the times. There were areas that need painting, just lot of upkeep and care is needed. Staff were wonderful , meals excellent.

Rooms a good size and nice to have balcony looking out to the trees. Would be good in future to be told in advance (when booking) that the dining area was closed to a private function. This impacted parking available. Fixtures not up to scratch in the bathroom.

JEMMA, Melbourne

The hotel was OK, and the female staff member in the bar was lovely. However, when I noticed a half-drunk bottle of wine in the fridge, I called reception to tell them so a) I would not get charged for it and b) they were aware that no one had cleaned the fridge out after the last guest, which made me wonder about what else was not cleaned properly. On check out, I again mentioned the bottle in the fridge and my concern about cleanliness. I have no idea if it was taken on board.
