Property is old and needs some updating. Our room was not all that clean. Shower was dirty and carpet dirty and needs replacing. However, the staff were pleasant and it’s a good base for exploring the area.

First impressions were bad— we checked in at 5 o’clock and the room wasn’t ready. They said they would just need a little bit of time to finish with the ozone treatment. The staff weren’t super helpful or friendly. I was worried about where I would park my car as I was up against an industrial bin and feared people putting rubbish in the bin and scratching my car. All changed however when we opened the door to our apartment wow, what an amazing view what a great set up we felt like we were on a tropical island paradise. We had breakfast on both mornings. That wasn’t super great soggy toast. No maple syrup for the pancakes coffee cost extra cold, rubbery eggs, grey looking sausages, not impressed. I would probably recommend buying breakfast at one of the local cafés. The location is great walking distance to all the cafés, beaches and restaurants.

Our stay was good ( stay #4 over many years) but I wished the bathrooms would be updated. They feel out of date and there was a dripping from the ceiling above the shower where the fan - that was really dusty- is. Also the bath is very high and hard to get in and out of. If it ever gets renovated maybe just put a walking shower in? Staff was really nice and the Happy Hour is a great idea. Also the kids loved the complimentary zooper doopers!

I booked a room with a king bed and got one with 2 single beds pushed together which were extremely uncomfortable. Room full of cockroaches and the bathroom was very old and had to access the shower by standing into a massively high bath which was dangerous. Disappointed!!

Response from Eddie on Feb 27, 2024
Hi Laurie, thank-you for sharing your experience at Mantra. I would like to apologise that the age of the apartment and setup was not ideal for your visit. Our beds are King Zip which join together. Currently Lorne being a region forest location we are experiencing high numbers of crickets due to the dry weather. These have been managed to the best of our ability but at night they do tend to be drawn to the lights.

The service at front desk was not up to par. Receptionist seemed annoyed we used Expedia instead Accor Memberships. As a gold member they said it means NOTHING to them at Mantra as they ONLY RECOGNISE ACCOR MEMBERSHIPS. They wouldnt give us any water on arrival as they said they dont use single use plastics. Once a favourite spot has now become least preferred option.

Response from Eddie on Feb 25, 2024
Hi Grove, thanks for your feedback. It is much appreciated. In regards to membership, there was a little miscommunication as it was explained that you would not receive points or a qualifying stay as it was booked via Expedia. They are also correct in that plastic water bottles have been removed from all Accor properties in an attempt to improve our sustainability by removing single use plastics.

Awesome location!
Such a great location in very walkable Lorne. Once we parked the car it stayed in the car park our entire trip. Love the easy access to the beach, and received a lovely and unexpected room upgrade on arrival. This meant we had a beautiful balcony with ocean views. The hotel feels a little bit dated, but the room and facilities were clean and well maintained. Pool was a nice temp and breakfast buffet was one of the best we’ve had.

- We booked the resort room, but the room we got isn’t pictured anywhere on their website. Misleading. Dirty, clearly doesn’t get cleaned well. Mould, no view, rust, hairs in the bathtub and on the walls. Useless furniture old damaged and rusted furniture. - When presented with the issue they had only one room to move us to but as it was a price difference they would not do so without an additional $170 a night! We were already paying an exorbitant price of $433 for the other room. And the new one although much better still very worn down. Scam in my opinion. - My friend had booked this room type previously a few times, and it looked nothing like the one we got this time. - Surprisingly the tv actually had chrome cast, the aircon worked very well and the bed was very comfortable. It was evidently 2 singles together so if staying in a couple it’s not as great for a snuggle. - Building is very worn down. Feels like you’re staying in a different time. - Kids room with colouring and pingpong. Tennis court. - Very close beach access and town. - A very disappointing experience. Would not recommend. We were tired so we stayed the first night at a discounted rate, and received a full refund for the next 2 nights. We then took our business to Crown and indulged there getting more for even less! - There was no allocated parking for our room and no vacant unmarked car spots so we had to park in someone else’s spot.

beachfront room was unavailable, so we booked a garden view. Our view was of a roadway and rubbish bins. There were no externally opening doors and no external furniture. Not that we would’ve wanted to sit on the curbside. The room itself was large in a country motel style but lacking in any shelving or drawers for clothing.We used it as a base for travelling rather than a destination because being stuck in that room would have been extremely inspiring. The stuff at reception were pleasant on arrival. After we saw the room, I asked different reception staff, whether it was the worst in the place, and they said it wasn’t so presumably, there are others, which are even less attractive.( unable to attach the photo)
