The receptionist indicated that they don’t associate with online platforms for bookings. Interesting as I had a confirmation via wotif. She claimed to have tried to call me the day before twice to advise my booking was invalid. No calls missed. Luckily she had vacancies so honoured the booking. After 10 hours of driving, this is the last thing I needed. Whatever happened to customer service?

The room itself was perfectly fine for an older style motel. Didn't realise it was literally right next to the train line so really loud, my fault for not checking. Take earplugs and you should be ok though. The lady at check was so surprisingly rude to us! She was agitated and carrying on about how they don't accept Expedia bookings and then just walked away. There was a sign saying they don't accept basically any 3rd party bookings. We didn't know if we even had a booking at all after that. There were other people waiting to check in too and we all just looked at each other in disbelief. She came back a while later, took payment (for the booking we apparently couldn't have made lol) and then handed us the keys. We walked away wondering why she was so cold and rude to us for booking online. Maybe there was language miscommunication of some sort, either way, no need to be that rude to someone for no apparent reason.
