Stayed here for two nights for work, so it suited a purpose and was ok. My room was very tired, mould in the shower, paint peeling from shower room, curtains that didn't close properly across the window. But, the bed was comfortable, aircon worked great and the place was safe. It's certainly not somewhere I'd stay as a destination but if all you need is a room for the night, with very basic and tired accommodation it's totally fine.

Hotel Vine Stay

Stay was ok the apartment needs some attention carpet was stained, the walls had marks and dents in the kitchen area, the shower door requires some adjustment. The dining table was also in need of replacement. Apartment otherwise was comfortable enough and in a handy position to the city, restaurants close by were great would be an ideal location to stay and go to watch the Townsville Cowboys play a match easy walking distance.

Customer service attendant upon check in was rude and made check in more difficult. Pool was murky and needed to be filled. Master bedroom shower was stuck on cold temperature. Location was great with great views, bedding was very comfortable. Master bedroom aircon was noisey, on the day of our departure the gate fob stopped working so we had to use the public parking and load the the car upon departure out the front. OVERALL WE HAD A NICE STAY JUST MUCH ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT STARTING WITH BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE UPON ARRIVAL.

Totally Disappointing

Very disappointing stay. Air cons were missing parts and had elevated noise. Dishwasher was broken and dangerous to use. Carpets were stained and smelly. Ceiling lights not working or broken. TV display flashed for 5 min's after turn on. Fan in bedroom unusable, noise was deafening. Pool was very cloudy and green. AWFUL. Bedside lamp flash's with cord movement, dangerous. Location is good and handy to resturants.

I got a 2 bedrooms apartment. The place looks a but run down. My front door knob is wiggly. Bathrooms have mold. Bedroom closet doors are mirrors so I chose to sleep on the couch instead. Good that there are badass food right downstairs, hotpot, thai, and tacos. A bit too pricey for the condition of room. The lady receptionist is amazing. The man receptionist was on the phone and did not make eye contact with us and did not even show a sign to address us so we left our keys on the counter and left.
