I was charged more than what was advertised, when I tried to resolve the issue Hotels.com told me to talk with management at the hotel and they can’t resolve the issue because it wasn’t booked directly with them. I was charged over $50

The location is amazing. The hotel room was amazing. We did have some issues with check-in which was a little annoying. The most annoying thing though was the air con. Every 10 minutes the air con would make this really loud noise so it was impossible to sleep.

Loved our stay here! Had everything we needed for a fun family holiday. The location is perfect, lots of options for dinner including the surf club across the road which had a kids play area so we could relax and enjoy dinner. Beach was kid friendly - patrolled and the waves weren’t too big. Kids pool was lots of fun! The spa was genuinely hot. Our Toyota Prado fit easily in the carpark below. Would happily stay here again.

Disappointing! If only I could include photos!! The apartment room pictures online definitely didn’t match what we walked into. The room was below par, especially the bedroom. Patchy paint, cords hanging from bed head/bed side table along with it not being attached to the wall properly. The carpet was tattered, smoke detector exposed - functional? Who knows. No valance on the bed, ensemble base stained, fan was clunky and not working properly, bathroom wasn’t cleaned properly & only one plate in the whole apartment kitchen. The only thing going for it was the amazing view and location. I’ve paid less in Southbank for a nicer room! All in all, disappointing.

An amazing view

We arrived during the stated reception hours, but reception was closed. We phoned the number on the front door and were let into the building and guided through obtaining our key from the lock box, so it wasn't a problem. The apartment was a good size and clean. It had a long balcony, running the length of the apartment, which was great. The view over Brisbane City, the river and Southbank was amazing. We often sat out on the balcony just enjoying the view. We enjoyed our two night stay at this property and would stay again.

The room was very small, the bedside lamp only worked when plugged into a very old power board and plugged into a powerpoint on a side wall, creating an obstacle to manoeuvre around to get into bed. small outdated bathroom. More signs around the property about rules and banned activities than facilities available. Was way overpriced for the standard of room. The view was as advertised.
