Had a king room, which was room "B"of a dual key room. The room was ok, but bedside table and bathroom vanity are delaminating, rusty metal chair in corner and need to put a blind down in bathroom due to clear windows. Noise from either adjacent room or above with water use, unsure if toilet or sink washing machine could be heard in room as distinct water hammmer , unsure what was going on but very noisy. Road noise was load and unable to open verandah etc. Have stayed in the apartments here, but the setup for king hotel room and noise from "A" apartment in dual key

When we got there the receptionist was on there break so we couldn’t get in to the building. Then we had to pay $20 per day extra for parking and when we booked the description said parking not that you had to pay for it. For the first four days the whole way from the left to our room was so smelly they only came in once to change the bedsheets in two weeks. They came in on the third day that we were there and then we had to ask for them to have someone come in and change the sheets as it was hot and it’s pretty filthy to be in the same sheets for 10 days besides that the room was a good size. One of the receptionist was extremely helpful. The rest of them were very average.

The hotel facilities are great but the room was very old (but clean) and there is a terrible smell in the halls, worse at different times but always present. Bed was comfortable. Cleaners did a great job to room but a clean is only done at half way through your stay and only if you have a longer stay or there’s no clean. No daily room clean had the room feeling a little dirty to live in with sand, old sheets and towels etc but I must have missed that detail when booking. Parking was very easy and the location is good if you don’t want to be in the main area but only a short walk away. The beach is close by. The tram is outside the hotel gate which is great and theres a convenience store only a small walk away.

Kitchen needs serious cleaning and perhaps new appliances and cupboards - spotted 2 cockroaches Cupboards have bad odours Bathroom tile looks like third world country’s tile All rooms needs new furnitures I think the owner needs to be considerate when supplying laundry powder and dish washer powder - amount provided will barely take you through 1 wash so please buy your own dishwasher tablets and laundry powder and take some hand towels as they only provide 1. Also forget about using the dish drying rack as it has moulds all over. Lounge and cushions needs serious washing/refreshing as they look sad and stinks.

The property isn’t new but it is very clean and comfortable. The location is fantastic with an easy stroll to the center of surfers and 2 min to the beach, and the tram station right outside. We loved the pool and our 1 bedroom apartment was very spacious and came with washer/dryer. I would stay there again and recommend to others.

Disappointing that no room cleaning and was not able to get clean towels told by receptionist to wash myself as I had machine in appartment which I found rude. My husband was chased and growled at by a residents dog that was off leash in the car park and lift very concerning with young children around.
