Centenary Motor Inn

Unfortunately i cant say anything positive about this property. Some back ground we were looking for a hotel that was central to the locations were were visiting and the location of the hotel fit that bill. We needed a property that was available for 8 nights also. We looked online and the property looked fine (images) and reviews from trip.com customers gave 4.7/5. We arrived at 8pm in torrential rain (weekend of floods in Brisbane). Upon checking in when trying to get into the room we had to shoulder bump the door to open it. Once in the room we immediately noticed the bar fridge turned off. There was a trip hazard (floor lifting). The back of the door did not have a chain, it had a Drop bolt ( where you slide it an can put a padlock to prevent opening..( this did not provide confidence in the security of the room if we were out). Further things we found . There was no blanket on the Double bed. we went to use the blanket on the single bed and it had multiple stains giving the impression it had not been washed for a while (luckily we had our own). according to the website there was supposed to be spare pillows. There were not. These may not seem that surmountable however they are beginning to accumulate. Due to the late hour of checking in ( and potential lack of availability of an alternative accommodation due to the Torrential rain and prepaying for eight days we opted to "suck it up" initially. The following morning we went out about 10 am and did not return to the property till 9pm. Upon return we found the the room had not been serviced ( From Trip.com website daily room servicing). Bed had not been made. Towels not replaced. Noting the weather at the time ( constant rain) the towels were still wet from a shower the previous night. This only added to the poor impression of the room from the previous night. As a result we decided to identify more issues in detail Apart from those listed above the following issues were also noted. ( I have images to support these claims) Room itself had not be properly cleaned for months.. - accumulated dust on top of air-conditioner. - pile of dust on cord for air-conditoner - windows not cleaned ( tracks full of dirt) - Tiles in bathroom under sink had layer of dirt - light fittings full of bugs Rooms were supposedly refurbished in 2016 - large cracks on wall near window in bathroom - smoke detector removed from room - Bathroom sink table edge paint unfinished. and badly stained. Images and info on trip.com were not representative of actual condition of room or hotel ( potential for false advertising) - View from window on website showed lovely garden. Actual view was of a junkyard with corrugated iron sheets. broken down Bus, Broken down caravan, car trailer status unknown and generally unkempt garden - image of pool on website is nice and blue - actual pool was green and appeared not to be clean potential algea - Website stated a restaurant and bar ( ability for breakfast
