Couldn’t lock the glass sliding door. Black mould in the bath room which has made me very very sick with acute respiratory condition . The bed had completely collapsed . Destroyed my back . Teenage girls running and screaming in the corridors at 10:15 at night . Night manager not interested. I had to vacate the room at 22:30 on the second night of my prepaid stay due to intolerable conditions of the facility. So with that I insist on a full refund .!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Rooms stated no smoking with a fine of $350 but bedclothes smelled of cigarettes and smloke detectors had been covered up. The blacony door was wide open when arrived and found it impossible to close. The tennis court had a net half ripped apart and weeds throughout the surface. Thr bath and shover were stained. No one was at reception when arriving or departing. Extremely noisy all night, it seemed drug affected or alcohol affected people were around the site with lobby doors opened all night without a receptionist. Dog barking all night too. The hotel charged $221 even after I paid Last Minute my $20 deposit. Absolutely hated the place as its very rundiwn and other potential guests should beware.

The pictures shown of the property need to be updated as it is very run down and looks like it has been that way for a long time. The main entrance smelt and walking through the corridors we could smell cigarette smoke. The tap in our bathroom fell off whilst showering. There were holes in our ceiling. The remotes to the air conditioning unit and tv didn’t have enough batteries so we had to keep swapping them to use them. Someone knocked on our door at 11.30pm and woke us up. The pool wasn’t clean. The vending machine only had a couple of random items in it. The front desk is not manned 24/7. Would not recommend. Don’t waste your money

Very old and out dated. We still had beer lids left in our room from previous tenants. Pool was dirty around the edges with scum. Old car left in car park on jacks with wheels missing. In even pavers my 6 year old kept tripping on them. Over charged at check in.

The room was very comfortable, the building and surrounds looked quite old and a bit run down with a few questionable people hanging around. Great location but would benefit from renovations to get the place to a standard most people expect these days.

The property was dirty; run down; and very noisy. The car park is not as secure as the website suggests. The photos of the hotel on the website are very creative; the actual property itself is very run down. The sliding door to the ‘balcony/patio’ of the room did not close easily, and there was damage to the lock - it was not at all lockable. The glass sliding door was extremely hard to close, and the lock required a good amount of manoeuvring to lock the door safely. The room itself was very basic, and very poorly designed. The hotel is very old & weary. This was a very last minute booking; being just before a long weekend, the only accomodation available. Would not recommend - El Largo is over priced for what it is.

Pictures promoting property are 10years old. They are housing homeless and people on parole. The reviews are true do not waste one dollar on this venue. Needs a huge shake up and Wotif should not be promoting such a property. There is no kids pool, games room locked, smashed windows at reception, vending machines empty, tv in room no channels. What they advertise is not provided.

The accommodation was just ok. Overnight stay. Older facility, rooms need a lots of work & TLC. The check in experience was extremely poor. No one at Reception & there was a few customers waiting to check in. After waiting for a while & a few phone calls that got no answer. A resident came & told us to hell loud as the person would be at the back of the office & yes there he was (maybe sleeping) no apologies given. The surrounding area has deteriorated in the last few years. The area was not inviting but the views of the lake across the road are beautiful. Such a shame, so much potential.
