The staff were very nice and helpful, however our stay was quite disappointing. The wifi didn’t work at all when we got there and even after getting fixed we kept losing connection a few times. Bathroom light was out. Air conditioning was completely broken and took few days to install a new one. We got a spot cooler as a temporary replacement but that was connected to the balcony so our window partially needed to be open which made us feel uncomfortable and unsafe, especially at night. Again, the staff provided swift support when asked with professional manner, but unfortunately we felt there were many issues we had to deal with.

Great location, close to broadbeach centre with all the shops, restaurants etc. Short walk to the beach and across the highway from the Pacific fair and Casino, but that's about it. The place itself is old and rundown, the apartment was tiny, had damaged doors a partially working cooktop and no oven which i thought would have been standard in any apartment, pots and pans so old and damaged they were unusable so we couldn't cook, a ceiling fan that only worked on high speed so couldn't use that, lots of noise into the bedroom, many other small things i won't get into, we left the place cleaner than when we got it. In need of a major overhaul, wouldn't rate this property more than 2 stars, not worth the price and would definitely be giving it a miss next time. Also i have seen other reviews and the bad ones have quickly been knocked down by the owner so believe the people who have actually stayed there and had the experience. Good luck

Good location but too pricey lack of facilities
Location is very good but apartment lacks lots of facilities like no lifts directly from car parking / no dishwasher / no clocks / no room services / cook top very slow / ants on the bed / small rooms / too noisy being on the main road / due to rain makes horrible noises so couldn't get sleeps. Car parking sensors programming is aboslutley terrible & really painful (owners must get this fixed ASAP or can kill someone in the car because it doesn't stop closing the garage door even if the car is standing there) Overall it's average wouldn't recommend anyone.

Response from Rex and Amber on Jan 6, 2022
Hello Dilip To say we are very disappointed with your review is an understatement, before you even arrived here we could see issues as you tried to change your booking to an extra day to arrive early during peak season when Broadbeach was 100% full. On arrival we actually gave you a roll away bed for your daughter in the "small" one bedroom unit with No charge. You made several requests for additional towels and linen during your stay and it was given to you. As for the car parking, yes the car park is not under the building but to the side, very clear when you drive in and sign posted, lifts do not go sideways they go up and down so you should have realized when you drove into the car-park. Because you didn't follow the pathway you ended up in the fire escape!!! First person to have done that, it clearly says Fire Escape on the Door!! I wont go into all your comments as they are petty but if you read your booking a service comes after a 7 night stay, if you wanted your room serviced daily you should have booked into a 5 star which provides that, and by the way after you called us a couple of hours after you had departed saying you had left your wallet in the unit we went up to look in "small" room where you had lost your wallet and we spent over one hour looking for it, what we found was an absolute disgrace the way you had left the unit, it was filthy, we dont understand how you could have lived in the filth, we didn't find the wallet but after many hours you called to say it was in your car. We also went through the pool and filter trying to find your daughters earing that you said she lost in the pool, another complete waste of time as it wasn't there. To say the garage doors do not work is completely incorrect and you are the only person that has raised this as they work fine and yes they are on a sensor and they close after a certain time, we actually watched what you were trying to do, you have to use the Fob to open the door not think it is automatic, this was explained to you but obviously took no notice. You also asked to extend your stay and as we had a cancellation we offered the 3 days to you at a good rate as we showed you the prices in Broadbeach at that time which you said yes to so we blocked it out, the next day you came and changed it to two days. We believe we went out of our way to accommodate you and your family and your comments are why a lot of Onsite Managers do not go over and above as we did due to it being so easy for someone like yourself to make negative comments. Our advice to you if you book another holiday, book it correctly to accommodate your needs from the beginning to avoid wasting peoples time. All the Best for the future.

Hello Brendan and 3 additional guests Thank you for your review, we are sorry that you expected your sheets to be changed for a 4 day stay as it is outlined quite clearly on all booking platforms that the rooms are serviced for bookings of 7 nights and longer regardless of how much you pay, you did book a one bedroom apartment which is usually for 2 people and you had in fact 4 people in there for the 4 nights. Given that you were already breaking the terms of your stay we still supplied you and your extra guests with additional bedding and towels when requested. As such we believe that your review is completely unfounded.

Great location in Broadbeach - one block to the beach and 2 blocks to the supermarket and restaurant strip. The split level apartment was fantastic for a small family and the friendly manager was so accommodating to our requirements for 3 friends having a few days away.

Good stay!
Broadbeach Travel Inn apartments are set in a great location. The apartment was clean, however we were unable to get clean towels due to the minimal reception hours. The second bedroom did not have a window and there were wooden shutter windows above the king bed that opened to the second bedroom, so you could hear everything between rooms. The toilet had a small window up high that you could not open and no fan. Overall it was a great stay, just wasn’t exactly what we expected.

Hello Jade, sorry to read that but that is the design of the units in this building and as they are individually owned some owners are happy with that layout. As for the towels, cleaning is explained when you book and there is a laundry on site, office hours are also on the front door along with our mobile number.

Although older it is very clean and the property is close to all Broadbeach has to offer. So a short walk to restaurants and the beach. The only downside (and this would affect every property in the area) is the main street has some loud traffic on it very late into the weekend nights. All in all great value for the price and with very friendly and helpful property mangers

Very horrible place to stay
My stay was very horrible! I would not advise any Families to booke this apartment because it was very dirty, dust everywhere and smelling! My son couldn’t even spend a night here because he would have an asthma attack! After I spend a night I end up having an hayfever! Can you imagine who have hay fever on summer time! Also, the lady that call herself the manager for the property, she was very rude and racist towards Africans and it was not welcoming at all! Overall the property was false advertisement on the website! I warned you don’t take your Families to this!

Lets be honest here and let the truth be known, you turned up late in the afternoon and thought it was your decision to have as many people in the room because you had paid for it, not sure of the rules back in Sudan but here 10 people in a unit is breaking all of the policies we have on our website when you booked, to say we are racist is so far from the truth its not funny, this was your way of dealing with what you didn't like hearing that 10 people could not stay in the room, you do not even know us so to say that is defamation of character, we have traveled the world and have friends from all over the world, I was born in Ireland, my husband born in New Zealand, our children are Australian, we have good friends from South Africa and Zimbabwe, we lived in Indonesia for many years and you have No Right to call us Racist. The room was inspected prior to your arrival, you also tried to cancel on the morning of your check in, the abuse and language you and your family said over the counter was plain disgusting and threatening which went on for over one hour which we have on CCTV. Our official letter of what happened here was lodged with Expedia straight away.

The coffee cups were beyond filthy,The back sliding door was broken which hurt my hand and fingers on 2 occasions due to it having rusty screws hanging out and the rollers on the door were so old . The mattress was terrible and we slept with springs digging into us all night. For $220 we are not happy,We did receive a text of the manager to say these things had been fixed but a bit late as we had already stayed there and had to endure the broken & dirty items in the unit

Location was good - close to convention centre. Hubby and son enjoyed the pool. The listing specified king bed but was in reality the same size as a queen and when asking at reception was told that it was industry standard to call it a king if it was the same as two king singles together. Washing machine in room was out of order. Nice decor and good basic accommodation otherwise.
