Aircon in the apartments needs to be upgraded. It was an old box unit and it did not cool the room down at all. A fan to try and circulate the air would have been nice also. Other than that the room was decent size, clean and the hotel is very convenient to the tram stop only 150 metres.

Good budget motel accommodation. Great location and easy check-in process. Fit out and facilities are aging and basic but good for a budget motel. Only negative is the mattresses. I have stayed in a number of rooms and all of the mattresses are worn out and need replacing.

Good location, easy walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Underground parking was good. Room was okay. The only issue is the tedious process of checking in. We were told by email/text that there was no manned reception. So, car park entry codes and room key lock boxes are issued by text. These are sent pretty late. We arrived after our check in time and although we had the lock box code, the key was not actually in the box - confusing! The signage in the car park was not the best and after managing to find our way out, we were able to locate reception which was manned! Reminded me of competing an 'Escape Room' challenge.

I travel to the GC dozens of times each year and this property must be one of the oldest, tired and sad property I’ve ever stayed in. From the dingy carpark to get your key to the bad fluorescent lighting in the hallways and rooms, sad bathrooms with broken shower screens to the horrible uncomfortable bed this place puts motels to shame. Do yourself a favour and book elsewhere!

Visited the Coast for a concert, and found the property to be very convenient for transport to the venue. Also everything else we needed was close by. The property was clean and tidy; a few little things needed repair, just wear and tear stuff, nothing unsafe or obvious. Would stay there again, value for money.

Room was disgusting, the carpet was wet, bed sheets and blankets were dirty. Air conditioner was broken. Ceiling fan would only work on low. Floor in the bathroom was sticky. Spoke to management, they didn’t care at all and laughed at as. Asked for a discount, have not received anything. This place is filthy and horrible. The staff member was no help what so ever. Highly do not recommend.

Absolutely do not recommend this place—save your money! For what you pay, you can find somewhere much better. It's vastly overpriced for what it offers. The kitchen had cockroaches, the bedsheets were stained, and there was rubbish left on the bedside table. I really wish I had read the reviews before booking. People were smoking in the pool area, and the entire courtyard smelled of cigarette smoke (and I’m a smoker, so that’s saying something). To top it off, a man was passed out by the pool with an ironing board next to him, using it as a table for snacks—he seemed like he might have been homeless. I’m beyond disappointed and will never stay here again.
