Charged my Credit Card in Advance without Auth

Not happy at all with this hotel. They charged my card two days in advance of arriving despite the booking being “pay at property”. The accommodation was pretty average on top of that. Would not stay again.

The room was basic, which suited us perfectly for a one-night stay—it served its purpose as a place to sleep. We didn’t use the bar or restaurant, so can’t comment on those. Unfortunately, I had an issue with a neighboring guest who was playing loud music and making noise at 2:30am. I ended up knocking on their door to ask them to quiet down. I mentioned it to reception upon checkout, and they looked into it—turns out the room had been completely trashed. On a positive note, the location is excellent—right next to Southland Shopping Centre and with convenient access to public transport.
