Richmond Henty Hotel

There’s a saying that you get what you pay for, and at $125 AUD a night, the Richmond Henty Hotel reflects the low cost in disappointing ways. The air conditioning in our room (Room 8) did not work, which is a significant issue when staying in Australia’s climate. When I informed the receptionist during checkout, her lack of concern was striking. She seemed uninterested and entirely unfazed when I mentioned leaving a poor review, which gave the impression that this was a common occurrence. The swimming pool was basic but lovely, though it was not heated. The location is convenient, and the price is low, but the failure to maintain basic amenities makes it hard to recommend. If you want certainty of quality, this isn’t the place to stay.
