I felt that the photos provided on the Expedia website were completely misleading. When i arrived to my room I was immediately uncomfortable and unimpressed by the state of the room. The white walls were no longer white, the paint on both bedside tables what stained and dirty, the shower had mold. What made me the most uncomfortable and led me to leave the accommodation with no refund 2 hours after checking in was that the lock on the door was not able to be locked at my discretion and was without a secondary security lock that should have been implemented for customer safety. Overall this was a terrible experience that was upsetting and misleading by Expedia.

Worst check in experience ever. No human contact. The office closed from 5pm. We arrived at 5.45. Had to call a number and do an online checking in the street. Then code was sent,. The lockbox for the key was in garage. No Light in the garage and could not read or open the lockbox. Overall condition of room worse than a Canadian dive.

Staying on the Gold Coast

The property was as listed and we only stayed in it for one night which suited our needs. Parking was very easy and very secure. Price point was very reasonable for where it was located.

I had booked the room for a friend, she said the fridge was off and had thawed out, and the thawed out water was green and mouldy. The mattress on the bed was old and very uncomfortable, you could feel the springs. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone

Place was dirty, $30 to clean the room after I paid $3000 i had to then pay for cleaning as well, so I bought my own cleaning products and cleaned me own room. Which is fine but wen you pay that much and then get asked to pay extra $30 to clean as well thats ridiculous. Front gate is a sorry excuse for safety. Other than that this place is a solid average’s place to stay.
