Nice room, poor cust service & a deposit of 153+
Had a mixed stay; the apartment was modern, great bedroom, comfortable bed, bathroom, kitchen and living space. The only negative of the room itself was that the bins hadn’t been emptied, which felt dirty. Also, the hallways have a real lingering bin smell from the shoots but this doesn’t make its way into the rooms. In terms of location, it’s immediate surroundings are residential but there’s a few cool coffee shops on the road, Kawana centre across the road and a quiet beach within reach whilst Mooloolaba within a short drive. The problems came with the remote late check-in process, and the quite cold, to the point and abrupt in-person customer service. We booked 2 rooms and I was arriving late due to a game, so my fiance and her friend headed to the property early where they were able to get 1 room key, for the friend, but my fiance was refused the key for our room as they needed my ID — really not the end of the world. On arriving at the property, I realised I never received a message or email to explain how I check-in — just a message which said I will need to put a 1 $ deposit, no directions on how to do this. So I scoured around a late check-in machine and found a number, which I rang. The remote lady didn’t know most of the details and asked me to put a 154$ deposit before giving me the code for our room, not the 1$. She didn’t know what parking space I should use and there was no information when I opened the box. Next day, the receptionist had little interest.

The apartment was lovely, great location and nice and new. Our only gripe was we checked in late which we had advised reception of, there were no instructions as to how to access our apartment, some residents told us to try the stairs which we did discovering the only way back out was down through reception. My husband called to be told that all the information should have been in an envelope with our key (there was nothing else). Once we found the room almost 45 minutes later, there were no towels in our room (there were 2 towels in the 2nd bedroom but none in the main bedroom). Not a big deal but just annoying when you have paid for something and there is no attention to detail.

Clean but customer service can be better
Property itself was very nice and clean cuz it’s brand new. However counter staff wasn’t that kind to Asian and I felt like I was treated with that stereotypical vibe, which I pretended I didn’t care at the time so that loses 1 star. Also they said wifi may not work due to still in construction stage and gave me an alternative way to connect, but that didn’t work either. Be prepared to use your own data

Nice complex, brand new and tastefully decorated (and very clean). Directly across the road from a shopping centre with plenty of food options. Near the beach and close to the freeway. Parking included. Communication with property and management problematic - messages not responded to. When we checked in there was only one key available - we were told they’d get the other set back from housekeeping the next morning. We asked the next morning and were told it hadn’t been returned but they’d contact the housekeeper and call us back (there was never any call back). A further check around 3 hours later gave the same answer - housekeeping hasn’t returned it. I went back down a third time and we were then told there wasn’t another key we could have - it was with the owner. Having only one key for the lift access/apartment was problematic and meant we were unable to go out separately and both have access - how they thought this was acceptable is beyond me. Only one very slow lift per apartment block - bit of a design fault.
