Find the Cheap Porepunkah Hotels

This was our first ever visit to beautiful Bright. We were shocked to soon discover that this park are just nothing more than rip off merchants. Everything apart from the very basics that are supplied in the cabins you have to pay for, from the $20 per night for any extra bed used, apart from the main bed, to the extra charges for a fresh towel, or if you use up your tea or coffee you can't just ask for some more, you have to buy extra from their stocks, and pay 8% surcharge when paying by card. One of our friends ( we were part of a group booking) was even charged the extra $20 p.n for a member of our group who couldn't get there until the Saturday, but still had to pay for him, excuse given was that he might ”sneak in when the office is closed” !!???. And as an accommodation cleaner myself I quickly discovered all the places that the cleaning staff are NOT cleaning, from the dirty shower base ( needs some real cleaning/bleaching), to the dusty shelves and skirting boards. We will be coming back to Bright, but NOT to this place.

We had the pleasure of staying at Adina Lodge for 2 nights. Rooms were very well presented, clean and well appointed. Staff are very friendly and always working to keep the place clean for our enjoyment. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I would gladly recommend anyone looking to stay here when visiting Bright. Location is just an easy 20 minute walk into town along tge Ovens River and offers some lovely walks direct from the Lodge.

The pros: great location in the centre of town with walking distance to nearly everything you'd need for a great weekend, microwave, fridge, ample storage, confy bed and couch. The cons: I was in Room 9. There was an overpowering smell of damp on opening the door, the exhaust fan in the bathroom was useless for removing the steam created by the shower, and insufficient space to hang towels. The biggest issue was the tiling on the floor of the shower and the black mould. The shower had a central square drain hole with the tiles having been cut on an angle to look nice. Much of the grout had crumbled away exposing sharp edges of the tiles. These tiles were unstable and actually moved when touched. It was unsafe to stand on and what if you cut your foot on a sharp cut edge of a tile with all that black mould? I called the manager in to inspect the shower - he said the shower was perfectly clean as he'd cleaned it and while the tiles were moving there was no breakage. He also could not smell the damp and said there was no mould. He had previously told me this was a refurbished room! It needs to be redone! I noticed also the hand basin gurgled badly as it drained. I could not access the wifi in my room, only outside my room or in the car park. There was no servicng of the room due to the current Covid situation so guests had to go to Reception for fresh towels and replenishing of tea and coffee etc between the hours of 2 and 6pm. This is when the majority of people are out sightseeing - alternative hours should be available.
