My room was in good condition, looked just like the photos on Expedia and overall is a comfortable and good value accommodation option as a good base to come back to after your sunshine coast adventures. Only real issue I had was not having a cooking vent above the stove, was a bit worried to even cook in the room because of the $1400 callout fee for emergency response. Didn't actually have any problems with it, just be careful and put aircon on full to vent smoke and vapours as best as possible.

At first the air conditioning wasn't working well. We were hot then cold . The TV wouldn't work. They sent someone and fixed them. What was worse they had construction going on the whole time we were there. No notice so we'll never go back.

The lady at the front counter that checked me in absolutely hates her job with a passion , the place was clean , car park was a but weird had birds flying around everywere lucky the car was a rental. My neighbours kept me up all night drinking and loud music , there is no one at the reception desk so dont even bother with that your on your own if you need to talk to anyone its pointless. I just cant beleive people can be so rude , i walked in from the longest drive from penrith to be greeted by the lady there she just looked at me , not can i help you nothing .. i say hey how ya going im here to check in still nothing come out of her mouth , then she says ID , no hello no anything .. i handed her my licence she checked me in. I said thisbis a beautiful place here , still no word from here. She says to me whats your licence plate number , i said i dont know its a rental ill go out and check she says it should be on your key ring , i couldnt read it on the key ring was smudged .. i said can you read that she says easy 146 qbt what ever it was , i said ok i cant read that .. she hands me the keys says level 4 and hands me 2 cookies . Cookies tasted like crap . Anyways i get down to my car was the wrong number plate but im not gunna say anything she had a massive chip on her shoulder . Glad to be at home to be honest worst experience ive ever had at a place . Only good thing is place was clean
