Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My room was in good condition, looked just like the photos on Expedia and overall is a comfortable and good value accommodation option as a good base to come back to after your sunshine coast adventures. Only real issue I had was not having a cooking vent above the stove, was a bit worried to even cook in the room because of the $1400 callout fee for emergency response. Didn't actually have any problems with it, just be careful and put aircon on full to vent smoke and vapours as best as possible.
