Guest Reviews
- Corissa (7/5): Nice clean quiet, bad reception - Lovely staff
Nice building in general Absolutely 0 phone service and 0 wifi, there WIFI did not work. I spent most my stay in my car across the road so I could access the internet and make calls
- Jessica (1/5): -
- van der Kley (8/5): - School kids filled the building and we're running amuck
- Terri (5/5): It served the purpose but differently not as good as the previous room we stayed in. It looked run down and needed some - I like the location and the facilities been here before this room was not like the others we have stayed in. The ceiling was mouldy the walls where broken around the bottom there was no cutlery in the draw 1 folk No knives the bathroom was not clean.
- sandy (10/5): - Fantastic place to stay where everything is thought of to make your stay warm and welcoming. The owner was very thoughtful and informative about the area. I will be back to stay longer 💜💜💜 Nothing
- Grant (10/5): - The room and the service i received Nil
- Dannielle (5/5): - It was convenient and modern. Wasn’t as clean as I’d expected. Was quite damaged. So many loud weird noises from the water pipes all night
- Tod (9/5): Great quiet stay - Quite location, great views, parking secure,self-contained
- Kristy (4/5): The rooms need a deep clean and the redo. They are falling apart and dirty. - The views were lovely. The rooms were not clean or maintained. Our cutlery was dirty. Our cups/mugs had chips and stains on them. The fridge was literally falling out of the cupboard space. The bin in the kitchen still had food in it from previous guests. The balcony has bird poo all over it. Overall, the apartment needed a deep clean.
- Mark (1/5): -
- Ruby (1/5): -
- Kristy (3/5): Didn’t feel clean - That it had a kitchen Dirty and uncleaned upon checking in- bin wasn’t emptied, dirty floors, bed sheets had stains, dirty couch/couches, ripped/dirty dining chairs. (Toilet made noises all night) we have two small children so was very disappointing and felt very germy having the children on the floor.
- Juan Pablo (8/5): Good - Facilities Internet
- Janice (8/5): - Location and I have stayed there before Only having one key

- Vanessa (8/5): -
- lee (9/5): -
- Sharon (9/5): Relaxing - Very nice The pool probably needed a clean. And more parking spaces
- Wayne (10/5): -
- Riddhi (3/5): Definitely one to put on my "never stay there again" list - The location was good as it was tucked away from the main parts of the citt The carpet smelt funny, the kettle has a thick layer of build up on the bottom, there was no extra blanket in the wardrobe, no bottle/s of water complementary in the fridge, no complementary milk in the fridge to go with the coffee sachets they provide. There's probably more but at this minute do not remember.
- Sugunakar (8/5): -
- Gray (10/5): -
- Gray (10/5): -
- Dheeraj (7/5): Value for money - Near the beach, Clean full kitchen, Large fridge, Washing Machine dryer, clean new beds.Great for families with young children Had loud neighbors ,who made it all unpleasant.
- David (10/5): Work stay - Good price, modern and location was handy Good price, modern and location was handy
- oliver (6/5): - The view, the ease of access to rubbish disposal. It was clean and the staff were lovely. No chopping board, some stains on towel and sheets, limited cutlery, and dish washer sometimes didn’t drain even on day one.
- van der Kley (10/5): - The cool water in the pool, rooms etc No restaurant or bar
- Dax (8/5): -
- Gray (10/5): - Great people
- Gray (10/5): -
- Catherine (3/5): Not recommend to anyone - Average clean
Staff plesant Staff justify problems and made me feel like my fault
Dirty
Pigeons in air conditioner
Not enough cutlery
Bed not a twin although we were clerk of who coming and wanting twin beds
Person immediately in lift said the place was not known for maintenance
Overpriced
- Alif Ar Rahman Bin (3/5): -
- Patrick (7/5): - Location near Queens Park Not enough glasses and kitchen utensils.
Bed was small. King size sheets on a double bed not ideal.
No ironing board that I could see.
Fridge wooden doors broken and annoying to open.
Lock on door hard to open.
Require two sets of keys with a fob to access pool etc. only one provided.
- Velonika (5/5): - The view
- Hart-Billing (10/5): - It was close to everything we needed. The staff we encountered were lovely. Nothing
- Zasada (8/5): -
- Kristy (6/5): -
- Nordiyana (5/5): Good place to stay,if just come to sleep,should be fine - Just normal The pool are so dirty.and the view is not like in a photo
- Beckymae (6/5): OK apartments at a good cost - These apartments are fine, well priced and clean. There is free parking which was great for us, even though it does get busy. Staff were lovely too.
Beds were very comfortable and we slept well. There's no sink dedicated for kitchen stuff, so you have to wash everything in the bathroom sink, not very hygienic. There's a kettle, toaster and microwave and that's it for cooking stuff.
The pool did not look appealing, it had a scum of oil on top and was kinda murky.
The location is quite far from the main town, reflective in the price, so if you do not have a car, it's only Ubers/taxis or a 30 min walk into town. There are no shops or cafes etc nearby either and the fridge is tiny, so you cannot really stock up.
You can't really visit the nearby beach due to crocs

- Bianca (7/5): -
- Wittmann (4/5): Find elsewhere to stay very disappointed - The location of the property was ideal for us but unfortunately that was all we liked. The property was dirty and had a incredibly unpleasant smell of cigarette through out the moment you open the door, there was dirty tea towels and pillow cases left on the table in the kitchen, the bedding was dirty and blood stained, there was dead cockroaches through out the cupboards and accumulating dirt and dust everywhere the back door could hardly open due to damage there was also hair all over the couches. for the amount we paid for one night we were very disappointed we raised concerns with the front staff an nothing was done.
- Gray (10/5): -
- Ashleigh (3/5): - It was clean The aircon didnt work, barely got to 24degrees, the tap in the vanity was loose, the blinds didnt even cover the windows and the sunlight was unbearable and I couldn't sleep. The hotel was NOT sound proof. I could hear absolutely everything. I was disappointed massively considering I was there to get away from a DV situation and needed to feel safe and get some sleep.
- Maree (8/5): Very comfortable - Comfortable and well-appointed as far as amenities. Short walk to a very nice park and the beach. Beach is just for walking, swimming is not encouraged according to signage, however there is a very nice swimming pool at Pacific Sands. We did not have a car, so it was a little too remote from shops and restaurants. There was the bare minimum of detergents, soaps and coffee cups. I could not find the hair dryer.
- Gray (10/5): - The room with the view . Heaven Leaving
- Jessica (6/5): -
- Lindsay (5/5): -
- Jana (5/5): Nice place just needs more attention to the cleaning. - The location has a nice view It could have been cleaned properly. And although I had stated that there would be 2 adults aged 41 and 19 and a 17 year old boy it said there was 2 single beds and a double there was not. We were happy to split the beds in half but in doing so there was rubbish under the bed. When we emptied the rubbish from the bin all of the bottom of the bin looked like it had never been cleaned and then the doona that my daughter got out of the cupboard to use had stains all over it and again looked like it had never been washed.

- Rob (10/5): -
- Brett (8/5): -
- TEAMOS (1/5): Not fit for purpose! - Nothing The dirty, grotty, disgusting apartment, bathrooms & beds.
- Dylan (10/5): - Everything Nothing
- Julie (8/5): -
- Stephen (3/5): Not what we were expecting. Building needs a refit. - The view was great. There was supposed to be a washing machine in the room.
The sheets and quilt were stained with who knows what.
The curtains were torn. No globe in the bedside lamp.
Not enough parking. Fridge door opened the wrong way.
Holes in the corner of the walls.
Reception not very friendly and no interaction when coming in and out
Of the building.
- Brooke (4/5): - I was really disappointed, the shower was filthy hasn’t had a decent clean for a while & the tv cords were missing & no way to contact management.
- Lavaenia (3/5): -
- chris (10/5): - Great service at front desk she was so helpful will definitely stay there again
- Nina (7/5): -
- Royce (10/5): -
- Jack (3/5): Not up to expectations - Central Air Con was very poor - room could not be cool enough regardless of the setting
Was not clean enough
Had to call up to get more toilet paper
Bed uncomfortable
- Sebastian (1/5): - Nothing Everything
- Jade (7/5): -
- Katrina (6/5): Short and sweet - The location was great, not to close to town
Pillows were comfortable. Extra bedding was good but wasn’t sure if they were clean as they weren’t folded like everything else. The cleaners that came next door were extremely loud, banging and slamming. The yelling down the corridor also. Mattress was old you can feel the springs.
- Janelle (8/5): Pleasant - What it offered for the price Lack of PowerPoints next to beds, consumables that should have been replaced (knives)no exhaust in bathroom.
- jenny (3/5): Wouldn’t go back there - It was clean It was a tiny apartment on the 6th floor receptionist was rude and in a rush to leave had paid for room but they took another $150 out of bank as a holding deposit that I haven’t received back yet Wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone
- David (4/5): - New manager looked after us after we found the room in a terrible state / wasnt what we thought we had booked. Whole building was dirty - receptionist was rude initially - she looked like she had a difficult day though.
- Tralalane (4/5): I have stayed many times and previously loved every stay however this will be my last. - I like the convince of the hotels location. The over all cleanliness of the apartment needs attention with more attention to detail. Was not as exceptional as previous visits.
- Robyn (8/5): Mattresses need updating or more expensive as you could feel springs - Easy to park and get to room Noisy doors when you have a A or B room
- John (9/5): Nice place, close to city but in a quiet area, nice views and walking trails. - Spacious apartment, nice location and views, free parking, all needed amenities provided, washing machine and dryer were helpful, Parking seems a bit congested sometimes.
- Kristie (8/5): - Had to pay a security deposit which is fine but I’ve stayed at the is property numerous times & have never had to pay one before but the staff member insisted that it was mandatory & had always been the case which is just a lie as I’ve never paid it on any other occasion. Just don’t see why the lie had to be done!!!
- Colin (3/5): Television wasn't working Bed was hard Not very clean -
- Stephanie (7/5): -
- Administrator (6/5): Nice clean and comfortable room - location not great. - Room was clean and comfortable Location not great.
- Ellen & Ken (10/5): Really good location -

I took photos and these were emailed to the staff, who did respond very quickly, however even through promised to do a deep clean, issue was still not rectified. unclean, service promised but not adhered to.

- Darren (8/5): -
- Skey (8/5): Pleasent - Nice spacious rooms good facilities kitchen well stocked for cooking balcony and view was great. Comfy bed Wind howling through the property just had to put a towel down at the front door. Couch was bit small and not very comfortable. Wifi was not the best
