nice place to stay for the night. nice view
Pros:

location to brisbane convention centre.

Cons:

The bed was however uncomfortable for me I was tossing and turning all night and the pillow was hard. When taking a shower you can see where the cleaners missed some spots as there was mould in the grout and water stains on the bottom of the shower near the toilet.

Cons:

Two minor criticisms only, which if changed would've given you exceptional across the board:
1. Sheets were in the dryer. Were these the sheets I was supposed to use? Were they used sheets? wasn't clear
2. Providing just a couple of coffee pods, milk sachets and teabags - for the first day or when a guest arrives wouldve been brilliant (and is common elsewhere.
Apart from that it was excellent

Pros:

Great location within the casino.

Cons:

Shower pole was broken however we were able to get it to stay but not stable. Couch was old and stained. Our access card couldn’t swipe us to the leisure deck.

I would not recommend this property due to its poor cleanliness and lack of attention to detail.
Pros:

The view was about the only thing I liked and the location.

Cons:

I did not like that I had to collect the key from a grocery store down the road and return them at the end of the stay. The room looked like someone was living in there and renting it out. The sheets and bed linen were poor quality and miss matched. There were no milk or tea and coffee sachets. We were only given 1/2 roll of toilet paper and no one to contact to get more. The towels for showering were just striped pool towels (which had seen better days). There were sheets and tea towels in the dryer (after cleaning from the previous tenants) and empty boxes and rolled up carpet in the wardrobe. There was also a huge cockroach in the room, marks on walls, hair balls on the carpet, and the world's smallest ironing board (if that's what you could call it). The room did not feel at all clean and was disappointing as it was a surprise for my daughter's birthday.

Pros:

Great location if you are going to the Gold Coast convention

Cons:

The parking was horrible!!!
The website said there was “onsite parking garage”, turns out you were parking in the star car park. We were staying for 2 nights and it would have cost us $60 to $180 for both nights.
We decided to park somewhere else.
There was mold in the shower which was very gross.
And we had to pick up the keys from another location. The staff at that location weren’t friendly at all

Needs a contact number for problems
Cons:

Fire alarm went off went to 3 different front desks no one wanted to know about it because it was a private unit also it was not stressed that parking was not included that wasn’t cheap. A really nice unit

Over all was ok …. Would stay again for location
Pros:

Close to the beaches shops pool was great

Cons:

Smoke alarms went off and was hard to get assistance… had to get my son who was staying in another room on another floor to take them out I think they went off because of the dust in the air filters … shower flow was minimal on hot water

Would not recommend
Pros:

The view was good from the balcony.

Cons:

The bedding configuration we booked was not made up so one of our adults had to sleep on the couch. We booked 1 x double & 1 x twin single beds instead received 2 x double beds. We found laundry still in the dryer. Only one room key was available for four adults. Linen was a mix match of bedding with stains on one of the pillows.

I was able to cope but it has made me very wary of using booking.com again.
Pros:

The room was very good.

Cons:

I did not realise when I placed the booking that the rooms that came up would not meet all the requirements I ticked.
I have a mobility issue and thankfully the room was good. However, I ticked free car parking and on the night before discovered I had to pay. They said to go to the parking desk if we had any queries but when we did they said they were unable to assist as I did not book car parking through them. The reception area also said the same thing. We did not know if we left car park if we were up for another car park fee so we ended up not using car and having to get someone pick us up. The fee was supposed be $20 a night but the changeover time was 6am so we had to pay for two nights.
Also no milk on arrival and only two coffee cups.
No mention that this was in the Star Casino and was effectively a BNB.

Pros:

The location, the view, apartment and residence facilities (all furnished : gel shower, toilet paper, towel, trash bag .., the bed was very comfortable..I really appreciate the gym room and the swimming pool with the steam room )

Cons:

I stayed just one day .. so I didn't have any time to see inconveniences. All it was well !
