Disappointing first impression

Was excited to stay at this hotel but the service regarding check in was extremely disappointing! Staff at check in had zero personality and we’re not understanding at all. Was not able to check in until an hour after the actual check in time of 3 pm as I kept getting told the room was still being cleaned from when I first asked about 2.30. There was no action taken to hurry up the process until I got very annoyed. Luckily, the room was very clean.

Nice hotel. Good bed and the room was clean and well maintained. Our booking included breakfast and parking. I spoke to the hotel a couple of weeks before our stay to organise an early check in and find out about the parking. Early check in could not be guaranteed and we were informed that entry to parking was at rear of the hotel. This information was incorrect and we ended up in the wrong carpark and had to move the car and pay $17 as a result. Once I had the correct parking ticket, the hotel validated it but it didn’t work. This cost a further $30 to exit the carpark. Other areas of concern- pool and spa did not appear clean. There was a strange smell like the chemical balance/chlorine was not right. Breakfast offered a good variety but none of the “hot food” was in fact hot. Very disappointing and we ended up cutting breakfast short and found a cafe outside the hotel for brunch. Overall, this stay was quite expensive and very disappointing. I would not stay here again as there are plenty of better options in the city and Southbank/Crown Casino precinct.

Nice place but bedding way too hot

The place is nice Staff nice Nice room But the bedding was way too hot and when checking out another customer was also complaining about the bedding and duvet being way too hot You want to stay in a nice hotel You pay the nice hotel price But you get a terrible nights sleep because the bedding / duvet is way too hot Disappointing Maybe the manager responsible for the bedding should try sleeping with the duvet they provide - very hot - so we both came away exhausted - not exactly what we had planned !!

We were quite disappointed with our experience at Alluvial. Our daughter has allergies, and although the service staff was kind and provided the information we needed, the timing of the meals was not ideal. We ordered standard menu items, including our daughter’s meal, and at that point there were only three other groups in the restaurant, with two more arriving after us. However, all of their meals were served before ours. It took around 40 minutes for my wife’s and my meals to arrive, and an additional 10 minutes for our daughter’s. In total, there were just six groups dining. We also overheard another guest expressing concerns about delays with their room service. For a five-star hotel, we had hoped for a smoother dining experience
