Disappointed bigtime...

Absolutely fantastic room, almost like new, and very comfy. I would've recommended this place to all my friends BUT..... On my 2nd day there, I popped back early afternoon and discovered that sure the room had been 'serviced' - but not how i would define 'service'. My clothes that I had laying on the bed had been thrown down on the floor - amongst all the dead moths (which were there when I arrived the day beforehand) - and given that I had made the bed neatly anyhow, I didnt understand why this had to be touched. I was staying another night still, and had arranged the pillows as I wanted them, per my choice! NOT messy. They had also given a pile of new linen for the kitchen, but still not taken the ones I had used... so I didn't see the point of that. So I went in to the office and spoke to the woman, who defended the manner in which my belongings, and room had been dealt with as if it was ok! I mean, I was the one PAYING big dollars to stay there - and for no respect, I felt that was despicable! I didn't rant and rave or swear, I calmly yet assertively made my anger known. Lucky she was saved by the ringing phone. Then the next morning after I had packed up my car, I went into the office to pay (in a much pleasanter mood due to the nice shower and the sun!), yet she just put the invoice and the eftpos receipt on the counter! It had been charged in total to my cr card - 30 mins after my visit to the office the previous day! And with no authorisation from me! On the phone when I booked I was told that them taking my cr card number didnt mean that any money would be charged unless I didnt turn up there. She even said in that same phone call, that I could pay by eftpos if I wanted when I was there. Did I even GET that chance???? So in a touristy place such as The Mount, is this any way to treat customers??? I was horrified. Good luck to anyone who stays there - cross your fingers you deal with the guy, he was great.

    Yes kp stayed at the motel, on the first day i went to service the apartment and was told everything was fine and ok as i was there i left towels etc. Later the next day in the afternoon kp came into the office hostile and very agitated saying her cloths were thrown onto the floor and her pillows weren't arranged the way she liked, i did not see any cloths on the floor at the time and for the pillows [ ya right] when i make the bed if any cloths are on it they are put back after it is made, i did apologise to her to calm her but it did not help, at the time i had guests in the spa pool and overheard the conversation and commented that her perfomance was apalling. When kp made the booking she on wanted a studio as she could not afford much but i said i only have a 2br apartment superking bed full kichen, 3 piece lounge suite, but could have it at a cheap price of $100, as for the payment i took it out of here card as the indication i got is that the reason of the complaint is not to pay for the accom, it is not our normal policy, as for the moths that was only mentioned in the complaint in the email a few days later, honesty is paramount as far as i am concerned it is unfortunate it is not both ways and i will sign my name.
