6/10 Good

work site outside
John, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. The room had an unpleasant smell, the fridge was not working, and the carpet was very dirty. The cabinets were outdated and the overall condition of the room did not feel clean. The air conditioner was located only in the hallway, so both bedrooms were extremely hot. The area was also very noisy, and we were unable to sleep properly. Because of the cleanliness concerns, we didn’t feel comfortable using most of the facilities in the room. Communication was good by email Not by phone .

Room dated, worn paint and smelt of seafood from previous guest. General rubbish and untidiness in the hallways leading to room from lifts. However the bed was comfortable.

Just stayed one night,shower needed better cleaning as some mould visible, rest of apartment could not fault very spacey and clean
Brian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

They don’t move the blinds to clean so there was dead bugs by the windows and under the bed was very dirty. Needs a Reno and a good clean! Spacious though and good if you have a dog.

Catherine, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Far from a 4-star hotel. Everything is old and in very poor condition. The carpet smells like sweaty feet, the microwave is yellowed and doesn’t even work, and the fridge is damaged. They even have on-site parking and still dare to charge us per night.
Isadora, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Although clean the rooms need renovations. Painting, regrouting, changing vanities, etc. looks very tired. But apartment is spacious, with a balcony. in an ok location. Building site next door so may be noisy during the week.

Mariel, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This is a very run down building that was purchased for complete reno inluding new beds and air-conditioning and painting, none have been started , bedding and air-conditioning was unacceptable for paying money(422)$ This a fraudulently behaviour on behalf of Mantra and hotels .com because they sell you a room with air condition but the hotel owners know that it doesnt work. So I ask you ? Isn't this selling something and getting paid but not honouring the commitment? The bed is ready for rubbish tip..ask the owners . They will tell you what they are doing .
Charles, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was convenient to shops and restaurants. A little noisy with cars and sirens. Being self contained was a saving on not having to eat out.
Russell, 12-night trip

Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The 2 bedroom we had for the night was comfortable and well maintained. Although we could see marks and scratches on the furniture, the unit was clean and the carpet seemed new. Best of all, it is a pet friendly hotel which is rare in Australia, sadly. Our baby Shiba loved her stay. Thank you for being so accommodating to families with pets. We will be back.
