Great location. Staff friendly and helpful. Room, public space and toiletts were always clean. Ate in the pub for two nights and that was a great experience. Parmi and cheeseburger.

The staying at the Hotel was reasonable good, that is, room very clean, good quality linen bed sheets, and room in good order. My predicament now is how I recover the $50.00 dollar key room deposit that I payed at the Lakes Hotel. Who is responsible to refund that money, The Lakes Hotel or the LastMinute? Because I have contacted Lola three times over the phone, apparently the Lakes Hotel Manager, but it has been impossible to recover the $50.00 dollars key room deposit. Is there any specific protocol to follow to recover that money? Please let me know. My email: loncenp.el@gmail.com

Mattress severely uncomfortable and caused back pain, blood stain on the bedding, no quilt or proper blanets supplied, air conditioning did not work, showers full of mould. Accommodation over all needs upgrading for price. However, staff were incredibly friendly and helpful!

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..
