A great experience with great value for money! Will stay again next time!
1. The location is very good. It is right next to the star. Downstairs is a place for eating, drinking and having fun. Across the street is a large shopping mall, Pacific Fair. It is very close. If you drive, it is not far from the surrounding attractions (such as Surfers Paradise). It only takes about 10-15 minutes to get to Sea World. It takes about 30 minutes to walk to the boardbeach. There are also cafes or Chinese food around. It is very comfortable to go to the sea breeze and step on the sand after dinner. 2. The room is on an island. The view from the room and balcony is great~ I fell in love with the sunrise and sunset here, as well as the stars and lights at night. 3. It is especially suitable for couples and small families. You can cook. The kitchen is fully equipped with tableware, pots and pans, and there is a refrigerator and central air conditioning. The washing machine and dryer are all very powerful. There are also two blankets in the closet. There is a TV in the living room and bedroom. You can watch Netflix for free. There is a sofa bed in the living room that can be unfolded and used as a bed for rest. It is great with the TV~ 4. The bathroom is equipped with shower gel and shampoo, but there is no conditioner. The bathroom is clean and tidy. We did not encounter the problem of insufficient toilet paper as mentioned in the comments. We stayed for 4 days and 3 nights. 5. The place to pick up the key is not as far away as described in the comments and it is quite easy to find. We got the key quickly and checked in smoothly. 6. If you drive, it is recommended to park the car in the convention center for 15 Australian dollars a day, which is much cheaper than parking directly at the star. The disadvantage is that it is a little far from the hotel. You need to walk across a small bridge between the star and the convention center for about 7-8 minutes. The room is exactly the same as the picture posted by the landlord, so you can rest assured to choose it. After booking, I read a lot of comments complaining about the inconvenience of picking up the key, the long waiting time for the elevator, and the poor hygiene. I was very worried. When I actually arrived, I felt that the experience was very good, beyond my imagination.
1. The waiting time for the elevator is a bit long sometimes, about 3-5 minutes. The person who took the elevator with us said that he waited for more than 20 minutes. The reason is that it shares a building with the star, so many people come to use the facilities of the star. 2. Rather than a hotel, it is a bit similar to a hotel B&B. The overall decoration and feeling are like a hotel, but there is no hotel front desk and house keeping. It feels more like a well-decorated B&B. 3. There are no napkins in the kitchen, so you may need to bring your own, but there are kitchen rags. 4. The building next door is indeed under renovation, but it was a holiday when we went there, so no one was working, it was a bit quiet and not noisy.
