"When I walked through the doors of this hotel I was met by a woman (Chris) behind the desk that didn’t even look at me nor greeted me. She was unsmiling and simply asked, what’s your name! She then informed me that as it was a public holiday there would be no room service or food available and if I wanted anything to eat I needed to go next door. I told her that Atura had not warned me of this when I made my booking. She curtly replied, because you booked through a third party (hotels.com). After driving for 7 hours the last thing I wanted to do was go next door to a restaurant. I told her that I wasn’t happy and I’d never heard of a big hotel such as this one closing its room service for meals on a public holiday! Not once did this woman apologise on behalf the hotel or even look vaguely interested in my concerns. Surely with the unemployment situation in Albury, the hotel could manage to find staff who know how to smile and greet and present bad news to a full paying customer?! I’ve never had such unfriendly service in a hotel. And obviously the hotel was cutting costs by not employing room service food staff due to having to pay higher public holiday rates! Disgraceful!"
"Great location and sports a modern and comfortable fit out, but the common areas are starting to look a little worn/tired.
We also had to wait a while to check in (there was a second person on reception, but they seemed to be pretending to be busy once they'd finished checking someone in to avoid having to serve us)."
"The chap who signed us in was very pleasant. He had trouble taking payment off out Hotels.com reservation so we had to go back later with a physical card. No idea why this occurred as we usually have no trouble with reservation payments. Room was compact but included all the necessities. Shows some renovations have been well done. However we had an issue with the bed, which while comfy on the surface, dipped markedly in the middle like the springs were gone. The other issue was the aircon - the unit was about 45 years old and couldn’t maintain a steady temperature. It was a very cold night so we needed to keep it on because the bathroom windows were the old louvre type and let in the draught. However it kept cutting out and some minutes later would restart with great noise and vibration. We eventually turned it off about 3am as we were having trouble getting and staying asleep. As a place to put your head down and move on next day it was tolerable."
