Great location and walking distance to all restaurants, shops and beach. Spacious apartment with balcony and was well equipped. We had a few issues with a terrible smell coming up from drains in bathrooms- reported it to reception and they sent someone to fix that day, however after 24hrs, the smell came back. We also had issues with getting the tv to work, again reported to reception and they fixed, but we were unable to get any local channels the entire stay. Cleaning could have been better, pistachio nut under bed on arrival and fluff on floor. Also found that doors were a little grotty and mirrors still had finger prints on them. There is no servicing to apartment, so if you have a longer stay, you will need to wash your towels.

Check in was great and the team brilliant, location was perfect. The apartment itself was dated and a little dirty. Some odd smells coming out of the carpets (damp) and from behind the fridge. One shower was unusable due to broken shower head and the towels were stained and burn marked. We tried to speak to reception but as it was public holiday weekend the desk was always closed. All in all it was ok, but I dont think we will back any time soon.

The air conditioning wasn't working-all three units. Ceiling fan not working, we were left a portable air conditioning that was put in the corner of the room with no directions. The room profile showed a view-there wasn't one! We booked for two nights but only stayed one due to the disappointment.

The staff at reception was helpful. They held our bags after we checked out until we picked them up on the way to the airport. The reception hours are limited so you have to make special arrangements if you are checking in or out after hours. The hotel is near many restaurants and shops and close to the beach and walking distance to the wharf. The room was comfortable but we were given a room on the second floor which was less desirable than ones higher up. It was a good place to stay for our couple day trip to Mooloolaba.
