The hotel is currently undergoing some upgrades which is mentioned by the hotel. what they don't tell you is your need to use two lifts to get to your room and this creates a bottleneck everytime you need to leave or get to the hotel. Check in was slow due to the above reasons. I've stayed at Q1 numerous times before and customer service is hit and miss depending on who you get, you get the impression they don't like it, if you ask extra questions. On the upside the apartment was clean and had been updated however the lounges seem old and dilapidated, I preferred the old couches. I've got a box of chocolates and wine on arrival but I've got Expedia to thank for that one.

Room was spacious and clean. Amenities (toiletries, hairdryer, kitchenware, iron, laundry, dishwasher, coffee, tea, milk, salt/pepper) were more than sufficient. Housekeeping was good and kept us stocked with clean towels, coffee, milk, etc. The location was perfect (beside G:Link tram, close to the beach, restaurants, shopping, grocery).
