Extremely unwelcoming person at the desk who didn't even bother to say "Hi" or "Welcome". Requested a late check out and the guy rudely replied with a "No". I have been Working as a hotel manager in Brisbane and never have I experienced such a check-in. Please raise your customer service standards.

The staff handed out room key without greeting the guest. There’s hairs on the bed sheets and pillow. The property is 2 kilometers away from the town center. I wonder how this motel is recommended on the top by the platform and why I have chosen it.

On check in I asked about "fresh" Milk. Was told it was in the fridge. No "Fresh" milk but little containers. No service to room over weekends - I do like fresh linen and towels. Considering the price I would have thought the above would be minimum.
