Mixed Experience at this Hotel

no assigned parking missing elevator

The location had easy access to the Great Ocean Road

My room lacked an assigned parking spot so I had to park on the street It was frustrating because the on-site parking was one of the reasons I chose this accommodation There was no elevator either and I had to haul my luggage upstairs

inappropriate bathtub no parking

I found some aspects of the stay unsatisfactory. My room lacked a table and chairs. The sofa faced the TV at a very short distance. The bathtub was oddly placed inside the bedroom. This felt inappropriate. Parking on the premises was unavailable because there was no parking space allocated to my room. I had to park on the street.

Underwhelming Stay. Seriously.

water temperature no lift

The room was clean, I suppose.

The water temperature was quite the surprise. It fluctuated from warm to ice-cold without warning! And to add insult to injury, there was no lift. Lugging my bags upstairs? Not my idea of a relaxing getaway.
