After a long journey from Margaret River; with sore bums from sitting over 4+ hours, dry eyes and heavy heads, my partner and I could not dream of anything better but a comfy and nice bed to unpack and get some shuteye. Unfortunately, upon our arrival to the “comfy” cosy corner cottage, we were drowned with feelings of anxiety, stress and distress instead— far from the comfort that was promised. The air was pungent and smelt of days old cooking. The smell was apparent even prior to entering the apartment. The keybox where the key was kept was left unlocked— the first red flag. Many red flags followed including:
1. Found a used baby bottle with old milk in it behind the drawer in the master bedroom— unsure how long it has been there.
2. Dust and spider webs all over the walls and ceiling’s
3. Finger marks and oil stains on the couch and kitchen appliances.
4. Broken blinds
5. Dirty kitchen
6. Dead spiders on the floor
7. Wifi not working
Clearly, the cleaning service was not performed prior to my stay and it was apparent from the get go.
If you are after mediocrity and an unkempt place to stay during your trip to Albany, then look no further….
