The hotel carpark and lobby where great. Clean, smart, secure. The reception staff were smart and polite.
We were only given one room key, and when we went to our room ( level 1 , room 60), we were horrified. Dirty walls and doors, the surface above the fridge was stained and there were stains on the carpet. The room was more bland and basic than any budget motels we have stayed at for a lower cost.
Extremely un impressed, we went to see the band we had driven up from down south to see, and upon return to the room, we decided we could not stay in the room and decided to make the 2.5 hour drive home. We arrived at 0230.
We will never consider the Great Southern Hotel again. $199 for nothing. It certainly does not deserve the rating it has.
