Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Really dirty room and really run down. There was no light in the bathroom .The cold water in shower didn't work, reported it, first manager ignored it, after several complaints it was barely repaired, we missed our dinner reservation. There was a kettle but no crockery or cutlery in the room to make tea or coffee, I request it, was given dirty cups & plates with dried food scraps on it. The bedside table had dead bugs on it and dirty yoghurt cups were still in the room from previous guests. The hotel was like a slum , really dirty, everything was broken and we felt unsafe. We slept on top of the beds on top of blankets as they were rock hard and we woke up sore and itchy. The games room was being used as a junk dumping ground, the whole place was disgusting. Unfortunately I paid a lot to stay there. Don't waste your money.
