Apartment Hotels in Robe

We stayed here while traveling through South Australia, and we couldn't fault the accommodation itself: it's clean, comfortable, has plenty of amenities, and is close to the water. However, a week or so before the stay we received an email with the code to check in, along with a list of the MANY rules we HAD to obey or else face extra charges. While we fully understand that these rules (eg. noise curfew, don't trash the place, park in the designated bay) are needed, they could have been stated in a much nicer, less school teacher-like way (all in CAPS, red and harsh wording). We felt like we were back at school. Perhaps they've had bad guests in the past but we always leave a hotel room clean and are mindful of others, so having these rules shoved in our faces was quite insulting. One of the rules is to throw out your trash (or face a penalty) and do your own dishes - strange for a hotel, but okay. That would have been fine had there been a kitchen sink but we had to do the dishes in the bathroom sink where we'd brushed our teeth, etc. Doesn't seem hygienic and we couldn't help but wonder if the dishes we'd used were actually clean as they'd obviously been washed in the same way. At one point we wondered if the dishes and trash rule was for the hotel to save money on a cleaner - just have the guests do some of the work! Maybe it's just us, but this rules thing kind of spoiled our stay as we spent the whole time worrying if we'd be charged for doing something wrong.
