Charged my Credit Card in Advance without Auth

Not happy at all with this hotel. They charged my card two days in advance of arriving despite the booking being “pay at property”. The accommodation was pretty average on top of that. Would not stay again.

The room was basic, which suited us perfectly for a one-night stay—it served its purpose as a place to sleep. We didn’t use the bar or restaurant, so can’t comment on those. Unfortunately, I had an issue with a neighboring guest who was playing loud music and making noise at 2:30am. I ended up knocking on their door to ask them to quiet down. I mentioned it to reception upon checkout, and they looked into it—turns out the room had been completely trashed. On a positive note, the location is excellent—right next to Southland Shopping Centre and with convenient access to public transport.

We were attending a wedding in the area so this Motel was in a convenient location. Ensuite very tiny and if we were large built people, we would have had trouble using the toilet as there was a wall 12 inches away from the toilet seat. Otherwise the place was great.

I understand there are renovations but it could have been done a whole lot better. Reception was stuffed into a little room. There were bags of dirty linen left lying around everywhere for people to trip on. The parking was very tight and limited. The first room was not cleaned properly, dust and mould on everything, bed not made correctly, crockery misplaced. Cobwebs handing from ceiling. We were moved into a newly renovated room. We had one knife, no plates, heaps of glasses. The tiny fridge had no ice compartment. No microwave, a toaster but no crockery or cutlery. Parts of the room were dusty. We did get a service everyday, that was nice.

Unfortunately this place was a let down from the motel we stayed in Chiltern. The room was very, very compact for two people. The room was not cleaned properly. There was construction works going on & this was not disclosed before we booked. Also payment was to be made on registration but this was not the case. Very disappointed with both the accommodation & Expedia.
