Frankly, I can't understand how this property rates as highly as it does. Unless we just got the worst room they have.
• Only one powerpoint behind the bed so had to pull the bed out to access it for chargers & CPAP machine. Bedside lights were meant to be plugged into the powerboard connected to this socket, but weren't, so we plugged them in.
• Dust, dead moths & insects on the carpet underneath the bed, which clearly hadn't been vacuumed for some time. A major oversight considering the bed has to be moved away from the wall to access the power.
• No free-to-air television reception in room. Office staff explained they had a problem with tv antenna at the moment. Unsure how long it's been out, but I wonder if it would be fixed if we returned in a month (highly unlikely I suspect). Had to connect my ABC iView account to the tv to watch the news.
• The amount of black mould under the silicon sealant in the shower was disgusting. Maintenance of bathrooms is clearly an issue.
• Exhaust fan in bathroom had a very noisy bearing. The exhaust fan is connected to the same switch as the light for both bathroom & kitchenette bench area. Can't have light in those areas without also having screeching fan bearing noise.
• Room was generally clean - surfaces dusted, visible floor areas vacuumed, toilet cleaned, etc. But the style and fittings are definitely dated and could use upgrading to improve room aesthetic.
• Impossibly thin toilet paper. Bad economics, as people use 2-3 times more
