6.8/10

I had a pretty good stay overall, especially considering how close the hotel is to everything I needed, like the beach and restaurants. The room was spacious for my family, which was great, but the carpets were really dirty and the bathroom needed some serious attention. I did appreciate the pool area, which was nice and suitable for all ages. However, the extra fee for a quieter room and other maintenance issues were a bit of a letdown.

The apartment was spacious and well-equipped, but the carpets were filthy and there was mold in the bathroom.

Service

I found the staff somewhat dismissive of my concerns, especially regarding the extra fee for changing to a quieter room.

Location

The location was fantastic, just a short walk to the beach and dining options, and very convenient for public transport.

The pool was a good size for both kids and adults, but the drier for the laundry didn’t work, which was a hassle.

5.6/10

While the location is convenient, that was about the only positive aspect of my stay. The room had its downsides, including poor cleanliness and issues with the door locks. On top of that, the service was lacking and the vibe of the resort felt outdated. I'd recommend looking elsewhere for a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Rooms

6.0

The room was quite spacious and included a kitchen with a microwave, stove, dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer. However, the separation of the second bedroom with bifold louvre doors made it unsuitable for children, as it did not block out noise or light.

Service

5.0

The reception staff were not very helpful, particularly when I had trouble checking out. Plus, limited office hours made things more complicated.

Location

7.0

The resort is ideally located near the convention centre, but that’s about where the good points end. It's surrounded by construction, which creates noise disturbances.

Dining

Facilities

5.0

The facilities are basic and certainly in need of maintenance. The property appeared dated, which detracted from the experience overall.

5.0/10

I found myself quite frustrated with my stay at this resort. While the location is excellent, right near the eatery area of Broadbeach, the state of the apartments leaves much to be desired. The facilities had some redeeming aspects, like the pool area, but it was too cold to enjoy. Overall, it felt like the service could use a lot of improvement in terms of attentiveness, and I genuinely wouldn't recommend it unless you're only looking for a place to crash for a night. The value just wasn't there for what I experienced.

Rooms

5.0

The rooms were quite tired and in need of an upgrade; the kitchen bench was falling off, and the bathroom felt a bit grubby.

Service

The service was lacking; there was never an apology for inconveniences, and we felt neglected during our stay.

7.0/10

The location of the hotel is fantastic, just a short walk from the beach and near all the shops and restaurants. The one-bedroom unit we stayed in was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including a kitchenette that allowed us to make our own meals. However, we faced some serious cleanliness issues and maintenance problems that detracted from the overall experience.

Rooms

7.0

The one-bedroom unit covered the basics and was spacious, but it wasn't up to par in terms of cleanliness. The kitchenette was nice and had everything we needed.

Service

5.0

The service was hit or miss. When we arrived, it took a while to get assistance, and when we reported issues with our room, the management was not very helpful.

Location

Right near the beach and just a block away from shops and restaurants, the location can't be beat. Getting to the tram to Surfers Paradise was very easy too.

Dining

We didn't really dine here, but the kitchen facilities were sufficient for preparing our meals.

Facilities

The facilities included a swimming pool, spa, and BBQ area, which were nice, but the pool area could have been more inviting.
