Daylesford Abbey

Good place to stay close to everything

Clean room

First, the positives... the location is fantastic, the staff (everyone we encountered) was excellent, the pool area was very nice and gym was, too. The big detractor is that our room was old and tired. It was clean, but when the renovated, or at least tried, they replaced the carpet with crappy vinyl plank flooring. The size of the room was fine, the AC functioning was not good, but it was a heatwave weekend, so some grace there. The room did not match the photos, had our room been accurately shown in the photos I would not have stayed. You can tell from the lobby and other public areas that the design team at the hotel know what they're doing so if you stay just make sure you are in a fully renovated room - if there is such a thing, otherwise, except for the location and staff you'll be just as well off at a Holiday Inn Express.
