Smells bad, very outdated, feels dirty, stains on furniture, only allowed one toilet roll for your entire stay, fly screens have massive holes, view from balcony was the owners courtyard full of rubbish and old hotel future that needs to go to the dump. Common area/stair smells like cat pee. The only thing good was the pool/spa. ##### Tenancy Skills Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Aditi 14 Oct 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication They charged us an additional 200 dollars for bond and 12 dollars for checking in late which wasn’t mentioned during anywhere while making the booking also after making the booking and confirming the reservation we were charged an additional fee of $11 USD for price hike. In short was a massive rip off for the run down rooms and services. ##### Aditi Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### David 20 Aug 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication My family and I have travelled the world and stayed in hundreds of properties and have never experienced anything as disgusting as this property. \*Mould on the walls and all through bathroom \*Chewing gum and food in carpet. \*Cockroach ran out of cupboard which my children are terrified of. I had to kill it and dispose of immediately! \*Blood stains on dinning table \*Worn out bed sheets with holes and stains \*Foul odur \*Worn out furniture and smeared with bad stains. Totally unacceptable standard of accommodation and would never ever recommended anyone stay here! Still fighting with the host for a refund, but have contacts in the media and will not hesitate to go to them with my story. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Meriton Suites Adelaide Street, Brisbane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Adelaide-Street.h13521416.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kirkwall](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkwall-Hotels.d1883.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [London Marriott Hotel Maida Vale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-London-Marriott-Hotel-Maida-Vale.h481251.Hotel-Information) > > [The Beausite Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grouville-Hotels-The-Beausite-Hotel.h6524652.Hotel-Information) > > [Imperial Hotel Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Palazzo-Versace.h541927.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Brisbane Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Ibis-Brisbane-Airport-Hotel.h19295854.Hotel-Information) > > [Akra Sorgun Tui Blue Sensatori - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manavgat-Hotels-Akra-Sorgun-Tui-Blue-Sensatori.h17484703.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cairns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Cairns.h7566.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tropiq](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Cairns-Rainbow-Resort.h201315.Hotel-Information) > > [Gilligan's Backpackers Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Gilligans-Backpackers-Hotel-Resort.h1102895.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Shangri-La-The-Marina.h16032.Hotel-Information) > > [Southern Cross Atrium Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Southern-Cross-Atrium-Apartments.h1119287.Hotel-Information) > > [RACV Royal Pines Resort Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-RACV-Royal-Pines-Resort-Gold-Coast.h425456.Hotel-Information) > > [Pullman Brisbane Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Pullman-Brisbane-Airport.h19295763.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Brisbane Central by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Brisbane-Central.h14677166.Hotel-Information) > > [Burleigh on the Beach Holiday Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Burleigh-On-The-Beach-Holiday-Apartments.h9625452.Hotel-Information) > > [Stamford Plaza Brisbane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Stamford-Plaza-Brisbane.h460514.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Novotel-Cairns-Oasis-Resort.h84251.Hotel-Information) > > [Regency on the Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Regency-On-The-Beach.h1784811.Hotel-Information) > > [Brisbane Skytower by CLLIX](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Arise-Brisbane-Skytower.h19178209.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal On The Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Royal-On-The-Park.h582734.Hotel-Information) > > [Rumba Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Rumba-Beach-Resort.h3688041.Hotel-Information) > > [W Brisbane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-W-Brisbane.h21612140.Hotel-Information) > > [Noosa Tropicana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Noosa-Tropicana.h3769240.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels.d5489.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cairns Plaza Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Cairns-Plaza-Hotel.h890459.Hotel-Information) > > [Melaleuca Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Melaleuca-Resort.h1142618.Hotel-Information) > > [Cairns Colonial Club Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Cairns-Colonial-Club-Resort.h84257.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Noosa Backpackers Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Nomads-Noosa-Backpackers-Hostel.h3856711.Hotel-Information) > > [Bay Village Tropical Retreat & Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Bay-Village-Tropical-Retreat-Apartments.h980056.Hotel-Information)
