Leumeah Lodge
I was asked to sign a document and return it but no pen was available. No pen with keys, no pen in the room. The tea caddy where the spoon was stored was very dusty. Everything else was great. Thanks.

Forrest Hotel and Apartments
Parking was easy and secure. Location was good. The facilities were minimal and furnishings aged. The lighting was not good with kitchen, dining and lounge lights all on one switch. All on, or none.
