Margaret, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hotel was 4 star rated. However the property is quite old. Good location, can walk everywhere and close to station. Unfortunatey we left our bags in "secure storage". When we came back in the afternoon one of our bags had been opened and valuuable item stolen. Manager said he spoke to staff and they knew nothing about it. I would not recommend staying here. Thus soured our experience with this hotel. We have never had thus happen before over many hotel stays in Aus or overseas.
