If the Mantra are not happy letting Wotif market their rooms cheaper than they charge - dont do it! Simple, there are plenty of other motels that welcome Wotif customers and demonstrate that the customer is important regardless on what the customer has used as a marketing research tool and payment mechanism.

Nice view, bed very comfortable. Toilet very uncomfortable to sit on, walls were dirty, floor was sticky. For the price paid for 1 night 2pm to 10am so like most places not even 24hours the supplied condiments (chips, softdrink etc) was way to exepensive. Had to find alternate food/drink as theirs was closed. Ok stay but not again.
