Sphinx for Avalon

The Sphinx probably had its heyday in the 1980’s and still retains the optimism of that era. Our room was sparkling clean with none of the dreadful chemical deodoriser smell some older premises use. As an asthmatic - thank you Sphinx! The restaurant and bar are handy and the service excellent.

I was a bit iffy when i first pulled up but it was such a good set up, room was great with a spa bath and dinner from the bistro (although no room service, you could take away from the bistro to your room) was absolutely delicious. The staff were all helpful and friendly and the night was peaceful and quiet and bed was comfy.

Great location and dining experience was really good and playground was amazing for our 4 year old. Down falls is the pool was super dirty and didn’t want our son going in there and I think it’s alittle over priced for what it is just a real basic room and bathroom was falling apart but it did the job.

The room was clean and quite OK, but the steps up to it felt a bit unsafe, and I felt it was overpriced compared to other places. The bistro at the hotel was great though.

Great location, short drive to city or to get back on freeway. Disappointed the price advertised was not the same I paid at the property, a difference of $20 as we checked in on a public holiday. On arrival no sign on reception to say we had to go to bar to check in. We booked as required wifi for night. Could not connect as said their hotspot had error & to sign in. Went to bar to enquire, no sign in needed should be auto & as no management on site. no one could sort the wifi. Odd for a busy Easter weekend. Bar was busy with people & a ton of pokies for those that like that. Room was good, just pity on service & additional cost, a dollar or 2 you can understand $20 not so much
