Everything hung was excellent. The only downside was the shower. The floor is very flat for the accessibility bot it meant the water flowed over the entire bathroom floor.

Very good location, especially for anyone who has family at St Vincent or Prince Charles hospital. Essence is right next door. Spacious apartment, included kitchenette with oven, cooktop and dishwasher. Short walk to nearby Aldi and just a few minutes drive to Westfield Chermside. Secure parking. There is also a vending machine on level 1 with decent Brubecks meals you can easily heat in the microwave. A very convenient property.

Conveniently located for Chermside and Prince Charles Hospital with free onsite security parking. The 2 bedroom apartment we had was a little small and dated for the price but it was good to have a choice of 2 king beds or singles and a light breakfast provided at reception. There was a lack of PowerPoints in the bedrooms but the main issue was noise. The air conditioner vent was so noisy we could not have it on overnight and traffic noise was an issue from 5 am.

Staff checked day before to see approximate arrival time and said they would do their best to have the room ready (no guarantees). When I arrived around lunch time the room was ready which took a lot of pressure off visiting my husband in hospital. Quick check in and great room.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The only good part of this property was the lady at front desk upon arrival. The room was very dated and the bathroom even more dated, the grout and silicone were growing mold and were generally gross. There was several warnings about fines for setting off smoke alarms which lead to me having a lukewarm shower in great fear, which turned out to have terrible water flow anyway as the shower head was ancient and full of calcification etc. This lovely experience was topped off when the air-conditioning turned itself off and showed an error code, when I phoned reception I was told that this is how they work and are set to 24° no matter what you do on the control panel. While I don't believe this was the case due to it showing an error code and never coming back on! This also seems like (is) a terrible idea in a hotel that caters mostly to people attending a hospital. Many of these people will need different temperature levels for different reasons! I did report this on check out, to which the response was "oh thats no good, Ill get maintenance to look at it". While this is a good idea, It doesn't really do anything about my terrible stay. Would never stay here again, definitely would not recommend to anyone!
