What the helly is that smelly from the vents/drains!!! Obviously a known issue why there’s soo many auto air freshners near the bathrooms at the end of the corridor! Also heard some poor lady telling someone (trying to get in to her room!) to get away from her door late saturday night..

4/10 Fair

The staff were excellent, but the rest of the experience was terrible, the fridge run all night, there was a machine outside my window that was extremely noisy all night. Noise in the corridor was terrible all night. Door closers were faulty and the room doors slammed all day and night. The TV is so small it's useless, and the volume was set way too low. No servicing of the room at all and run out of sugar, coffee and milk. The meals were tasty but mostly cold to warm at best.

2/10 Poor

I have never in my life experience this i was refused by the staff to stay with them after paying for the room the staff said they dont accept local to stay at their hotel meaning people living around the central coast area i was turned down by the staff i even them i am about 30min away from home and i got dropped off have no place else to stay and they said theres other accommodation available around the corner i wana know whats the reason behind this policy after turning down by them i was outside sitting there calling all the accommodations around the area as most were fully booked and finally got an offer from Venus hotel about 15min walk from The lakes hotel does did anyone experience the same thing or not ? i want to know why booked and plan my trip prior two weeks before the event that i went to attend to find out they wont allow me to stay cus im a local so frustrating so i had to pay an extra room while waiting to get a refund after i checked in to Venus resort and they call me about an hour later and check if im still checking in or not are they serious ? i said no your staff were so rude and said they dont accept locals and her answer was oh im really sorry about that yes we dont allow local the answer i get was oh its just our policy so i hang up the phone but thank God lovely staff at Venus resort offer me great service....

Lack of any person who could provide reliable information. Very dirty
4-night trip

8/10 Very good

I loved this hotel, friendly staff and large rooms. Bathrooms and toilets are shared though they have separate lockable doors for each. Food downstairs is great. My only criticism was that the check in is located in an area where children are unable to go. Staff did however look after the kids as I checked in. Will definately use again.

6/10 Good

good location but floors were violently creaky so we were scared about waking people up. the hotel check in is in the poker room so my my 17 yr old friend was kicked out. fine for the price but could be better

8/10 Very good

3-night trip

2/10 Poor

The staff were rude & not helpful. I asked for a special condition as we needed to be at a venue at 2pm & they refused early checkin so we could get ready. I rang early on the day so my room could've been cleaned early on the list.

4/10 Fair

Sleep deprived

Was not happy with being woken up very early in the morning with work men banging and talking in the roof area, was not impressed at all. I left the night check out. so I didn’t have to deal with them. 2 mornings in a row was enough had to get back to Melbourne for a proper sleep. Oh and the banging of the room doors at night. Friggen all night. BANG. BANG BANG ahhhhh sleep where are you.
Godwin, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent budget accommodation. Clean & a big comfy bed. Was worried about the shared bathroom but it was clean with a great shower, although bit hard to get dressed inside cubicle. Meals in bistro were reasonable & good food. Good, reasonably priced breakfast cafes nearby. Room 12 has the sqeakiest floor I have ever walked on, but don't know how you would fix that. Can't hear noise from downstairs so made for a quiet night's sleep. Could do with a little mirror in the room. Overall, excellent & wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
Cassie, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Clean But not suitable

Won’t go there again. You pay extra for the key and may get the money back a week later. I wanted my money back For the key and was told no! I had to wait the week. If I didn’t want to do that they were going to give back my money for the room and I have to go stay else where👎 That made me dissapointed. Then when I went up nice but really not for me and not impressed. I would of been stranded if I had left with no where to stay. Parking near the hotel was a fair distance to cart your luggage and you then carry it up a flight of stairs Rooms partly Quiet Tv in room on wall very tiny👎👎👎👎
