The pool was good , however a damp odour in the room was not pleasant. Noisy room at the rear of the property. The room was well appointed but bites from bugs in the couch.

The property was clean and convenient. The reception staff were very helpful. However, I would say the cleaning staff were not mindful. The first night, we arrived in the middle of the night. There were no blankets, and our first night was freezing, not a good impression or a good start to our week stay. (I also know we were not the only customers who didn't have blankets on a freezing night. Yes the reception staff were very helpful the next day

The rooms had a mouldy smell, the window didn’t unlock to let fresh air in. The room was clean however the windows and window tracks were filthy. The service on arrival at checkin was cold, we had booked as a party of 3 with 3 rooms and were placed all over the motel. When asked if we could be placed together we were told rudely that we didn’t request room together at time of booking. The motel had an alarm go off yet no one informed us if anything was wrong, we went downstairs and stood around with nothing apparent happening. Parking at the motel was terrible. There was a huge crane taking up one part of the entrance and workers vehicles taking up parks. When asked if we could park underneath the building we were told that costs extra. There was no consideration for the lack of parking or the inconvenience to guests for the work that was being carried out. Someone finally said it’s nothing to worry about. Do better Mantra

I often stay at the Mantra Esplanade as it is in a great location. There are building works happening around the pool and foyer at the moment. There are no Reception staff available late at night, so room keys are obtained by ringing a mobile and accessing a lock box. I had requested a 2 bedroom apartment (as booked) but was again allocated two connecting rooms. Lots of great dining options within 5 minutes walk.

I enjoy staying at the Mantra on Esplanade for the location and ocean view, even though the rooms are getting tired. This trip we booked a two bedroom apartment but instead were allocated two adjoining rooms. Would have preferred the apartment as advertised.

Amazed and very disappointed that I had only FTA TV stations. Have stayed in cheaper hotels that had Foxtel, YouTube, etc. I booked through Wotif but was directed to Expedia about some confusion re the booking/cancellation when our travel plans were rearranged due to the Stuart Hwy road closures. Dealing with the hotel and Expedia is not something I want to do again.

Room was not clean at all, washing machine leaked all through the bathroom and dryer was broken. Wanted a late checkout charged me extra money then as I left proceeded to tell me I could have got it for free if I signed up to Accor members, would have been nice to know prior to paying extra money.

Basic is an understatement but I’ve stayed in worse. Reception staff (who are the only staff you see) are obliged to follow company policy eg check out by 1000 etc. It appears common sense and customer satisfaction are not within the company policy. No restaurant or coffee shop facilities, room was not cleaned / refreshed during my stay. Avoid if you can
