Good for short stay only
Pros:

Roomy for a family of 4, pool water felt refreshing & beats the heat since there’s shade sail covering it.

Cons:

Beddings needs upgrades, kitchen utensils weren’t clean & were put away in cupboards dirty. Ceiling fans and AC were very dusty. Room smells like carry upon entrance.

The stay was very comfortable. We are waiting for our deposit.
Pros:

Nice and Clean. Had all the amenities which was great. Close to many stores. Car park was good and security gate was also good. Might need to upgrade the oven/stove as it only had one setting which was high so the alarm went off abit when it got smokey. The air vent did not clear the smoke.

Cons:

The staff who was on duty need to be abit more professional. We drove from Townsville straight after work and we had already advised that we will be checking in late. Was rude THS he had to leave his place to help us check in. Had to check in outside in the dark and was not shown into the office to do all this. Was not happy with the Customer Service.
