We booked 2 x two bedroom apartments. 1709 an 1810 on the 7th and 8th floors. We asked for them to be close to each other and were told they were close just on different floors !
they are dual key style apartments ie 2 apartments with a common door. (a studio and a one bedroom). I have stayed here before and the quality of the units varies significantly as they are privately owned but operated by Mantra. It is a hit or a miss as to the one you get.
1810- the one bedroom unit part - no cable tv, fan in lounge so noisy could not use and no airconditioning in the bedroom. The airconditioning unit in the lounge was old and only went down to 21 degrees so not sufficient to cool the lounge and bedroom.
1709- airconditioning in the bedrooms and lounge was good.
Both units suffered noise at night from the street as it is on the restaurant/nightclub strip. The three outer sides of the hotel have restaurants below them. The other side has the gold coast highway so it is not the quietest location if you are not looking onto the poolside.
The units were clean and the kitchen was well appointed in 1709 (we didnt use 1810 kitchen although noted there was no toaster)
The location is fantastic for access to restaurants and the beach.
three swiming pools- 2 outside are one for kiddies and the other for adults is heated - one indoor is heated. Great for families. 3 very well maintained BBQ's beside the pool- cleaning products supplied.
The on site amusement arcade they have is not worth the visit- very old games- quite a few out of order and some that just wouldnt work after we put money in.
The hotel communal ways are kept clean and very tidy and the staff were helpful and friendly.
We paid $120 a night through a deal for a 2 bedroom so cant complain on price. If I had not been there before and not seen the good rooms I probably wouldnt go back as there are nicer places in the area for the same full price . But for a family holiday at that price I cant complain. Would I go back ? probably would (for the right price)
