The room it self was clean and tidy. However upon arriving there was musky smelling in the room. We turned off the air conditioner which appeared to be the main problem. After chatting with the desk they came up and changed the filter as we could see was quite dirty. We did not have the air for the remaining of our 3 days as, it still gave off the strong scent. I do hope further looking into the this concern is addressed as summer is approaching.

If i could upload the photos i took i would. $300 for one night? Massive cockroaches in my room, water was leaking at a rapid rate onto the TV table splashing all over the TV and all over the lamp light on the table next to it at such a rapid rate that i had to turn off the aircon There were fluid stains from a drink on my bed side table that hadn't been wiped down, there was someones underwear behind the bedside table and there were fleas in my bed. I am not happy that i had to pay $300 for this room. I have kept all of the photos of the above mentioned if you want to discuss this further.

Great Location, Ordinary Stay

The room was dusty everywhere. The bed sheets were changed and clean towels provided. The balcony chairs were sun faded and chalky and left marks on our clothes. An annoying inconvenience was that parking was non existent for first night of stay. However Mantra parking signs appeared in parking bays assigned to room numbers the next day. There was a broken double power point in the closet so I could not iron clothes unless I tried it in the small bathroom with great difficulty. The TV and internet was extremely slow and to add to annoyance, the settings were locked in Japanese language only. The credenza below the wall mounted tv housed the kettle, coffee and tea and fridge. However there was no accessible power point to connect kettle to, above the credenza. The only place was in the bathroom. Even though issues with the room were discussed with Mantra staff at front desk, nothing happened to address some of these matters prior to leaving. From a positive perspective the location is central with ease of access to shopping, food venues and the esplanade.
