Too hot

Overall it was a nice place. Unfortunately on the day we arrived it was 37 degrees and the aircons only cooled the living room/kitchen area. The bedrooms had no aircons and also no fans and the cool air simply didn't get into the bedrooms so we hardly slept the first night. Luckily there was a cool change the bwxt day and we were able to sleep the next night. The bedrooms badly need fans.

Great service. Apartment was a bit dated, and some of the cooking utensils could do with being renewed.

First and only stay. V surprised by expedia traveller rating. Its a sad property. No signs where to park on arrival no where to park to check in $20 a night to park! First room smelt dank and was awful. Second view of busy road and smelt like old cigarettes. The fridge made a noise even though nothing got cold in it, when turned down the ice packed freezer melted. Only good thing was lovely Receptionist April

Great resort for a night stay on the Island

A perfect location for a night stay on Philips Island. The resort is quite near the town centre and the staff is really friendly and helpful. The room is spacious and great size for my family of four : )

we have stayed here a few times before and it improves everytime. It is close to family and the fact that it across the road from a major shopping centre makes it convenient for dining and grocery shopping ( when needed)

When I arrived, my room smelled like an ashtray. I didn't think hotels allowed people to smoke in the room, but there was an ashtray provided on the balcony. As the reception is unattended after 5pm on weekends, I was on the phone (in several calls, with different people) for over an hour to get a new room. The new room was an upgrade, but still very average with stained carpets and hair on the bathroom floor.

Weekend in Melbourne

The property is in a very convenient location, but our room was on the main. Road, so lots of road noise. The tvs were the smallest I’ve ever seen. And the very small show head made for an average shower

We arrived late on our check-in day to find the room hadn't been cleaned. There was juice in the kettle and there was a liquid dripping down the bed head. The bath/ shower floor was dirty from cups being sat on it. We did need extra sheets for our son, but there weren't any, so we had to take them from another room. The blinds and couch were both filthy and we had to place towels on the couch to sit on it. We also found what could only be a bag of drugs on the back patio in the ash tray, which also was full of cigarettes. The entire apartment needed renovation/fixing and it just wasn't a liveable space, or somewhere you wanted to be. I can't say what other rooms would be like, but they didn't have any other rooms suitable to move us into, so we had to stay the first night and left to find other accommodation the next day. The staff were nice and accommodating, but I did have to follow up with them quite a bit after leaving. We did get a refund in the end and compensation was also offered, but I haven't heard from them in regards to that.
