Air-conditioning dicnot get cool enough. Fridge was all rusty along the bottom of the inside and outside of the door. Dispensers in the shower where very dirty and all clogged up. Back of the bathroom door was very dirty looked like old dried blood splattered on it. Bathroom needed a good clean.

Clean comfortable room. Easy access to dining as the waterfront entertainment district is literally on the doorstep. Easy, short walk to Stokes Hill Wharf, harbor cruises, Oceanside dining. Skybridge to the Central Business District.

Total disappointment!!!

Everything in the room is damp and uncomfortable. New room the sheets are dryer but it's all damp. I was woken at the hotel by drilling at 8am. There was (big ones) on the ceiling and blinds. Was a long drive from Katherine bur couldn't get a rest straight away because of this issues!! Very disappointing!!!

Nice position on the waterfront. The hotel is getting on in age but still good enough. Lot's of eateries in walking distance, whether in the waterfront precinct or over the road (Skybridge) and into town. Lots of historical areas in close vicinity, WWII and Cyclone aftermath. As for the hotel room, it was quiet even though 2 floors down there was a lot of activity in the waterfront with bars and restaurants. Room was a nice size. TV had basic free to air channels. A few issues: bedding was not changed after we spilt some coffee! and mini bar and coffee was not restocked the next day! However there is a Mini Mart across the way that stayed open till midnight so we just went there for our supplies. There is a wave pool downstairs ($9.00 entry for adults) that was nice and warm which is nice coming from Perth where every pool is quite chilly.

Hotel was in a great location. Unfortunately our room was the furtheriest room from reception, the pool, laundry etc.

Excellent location on the water and centrally located to shopping restaurants and other interesting things. Staff was excellent and courteous. Only complaint, the property needs serious updating.

Rooms in terrible condition. Grotty, poor maintenance and the halls and rooms smell of mildew and air conditioners that desperately need cleaning and likely pose a health risk. Location is good but could not recommend this hotel.

Obviously this property is under staffed, room was not ready upon arrival at advertised check in time & many others were also waiting long periods for rooms to be cleaned, No options were given to store luggage close to room as we were on a dead line time wise & delay was causing issues. Room & position is quite good, many food options & recreation at your door.

I had problems accessing the hotel from the car park on two occasions. The key would not open the lock from the car park to the hotel. Room service meal on the first night was ok but on the second night was very poor. KFC would have been better. Also the choices were limited. For instance the only ice cream option was vanilla . Not very exciting for children

The area is nice and near the sea. I wish they had Netflix or cable.

I stayed here for 3 nights for work, the 2nd night the fire alarm on the ceiling went off at midnight, I was woken by the ear piercing noise. I called the receptionist immediately, they sent 2 people to my room and they had to remove the alarm (not legally allowed) from the room to prevent the alarm going off again. The reason I was given for this incident was that the hotel waits till clients reporting the noise before replacing the battery. I found this unbelievable, what happened to the routine preventive maintenance? What happens if the fire alarm goes off 3am? There’s no consideration of the disruption to the guest.

Great service, good location

The front desk staff were so lovely and helpful. Really appreciated the service and kindness, it was especially welcome after some issues with my flight. Great location and very quiet. I liked being able to walk to the Wharf for sunrise and there were many good restaurants just next door.

The staff at vibe were absolutely amazing. They could t have been more helpful when they learnt my daughter had a fear of elevators and moved us to a lower room. They also then helped move us to another room when the bathroom fan didn’t work. Nothing was too much of a hassle. The downside for this place is it is in dire need of some repairs. The bathroom had a lot of mould around the edges of the window and chips out of the bath . The fridge was rusted and the carpet ha looking worn. The beds weee comfortable though! The location was amazing and the breakfast bar was delicious.
