Pros:

The location was great, the room was a great size.

Cons:

The curtains are very light and didn't stop the lights coming through them at night.
The first night there I was unable to use the internet as the password for the internet had been crossed out and was not legiable.
The reception hours are very short and the after hours on the phone in the room does not work.

Stay was ok but would not recommend
Pros:

Location was great. The Manager? was lovely. I locked the key in the room soon after arrival and she was lovely accommodating let us into the room again. Also she let us check in early.

Cons:

When we arrived we didnt realize reception would be closed and the only communication was with an A1 generated response. Also, probably our error, but we did not realize we would have to pay $250 bond. This was credited back to us after 2 days but I was concerned about it.

Unless you NEED the beach, just avoid.
Pros:

Great question...

Cons:

Probably one of the worst places I have ever stayed. Untouched for decades, its drab and dark with a distinctly beige early 90's feel. Even plastic plants in the rooms. It's noisy, due to being on a local bogan drag circuit, and its full of officious notices about what you can and can't do. Don't leave rubbish in your room or you'll be "fined" , don't leave any dishes to wash or you'll be "fined", don't park in the wrong place or they will tow you etc etc. Note also they take a $250 bond off your card at check-in, and it takes a few days to be returned after check-out. And make sure you book a room on the higher floors as, despite the photos, that's not what you get initially. All in all, there are WAY better options at the Mount.

Disaapointing - we would not stay again, there are far better options at the Mount
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

Property was completely inflexible to change requirements despite it being weeks out from staying. Very dated rooms. The vent in the bathroom was filthy - it had not been cleaned for years.
