No one at reception on arrival, incorrect phone number in window, made an assumption that we had free phone calls whilst here. WiFi would not connect, manager did not reply to email. No bottled water in room, no milk to make tea. Gardener on patio in morning whilst getting dressed. Only one chair in the room, 2 single beds as well as the double booked. No staff available at the property for the entire stay. Poor location as on the outskirts of town.

In opinion it was a motel room and it looked like a motel room The carpark looked like a carpark.The pool looked like a pool.i didn't get to meet the staff it took myself making a phone call to find out the key was in the room and what number it was but thats ok.The best meals in the Portarlington area is definitely the golf club.If you are looking for a woman in this town I recommend bring one another town with you.
