Top Smythes Creek Hotel Reviews

Victoriana Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"Good location, clean property and met all of my requirements. Front door bell broken and there is a weird system where the front door has to open for the reception to be notified. Better signage needed on that. Also wifi password not included in check-in materials but wsa told that it had been provided, where it hadn't. Apart from that, everything worked as needed!"
