We enjoyed our time at the Apex. It's a beautiful building with a beautiful view. The room was clean and the bathroom was very spacious. We enjoyed the pool, steam room, restaurant, and bar. We felt very comfortable during our stay at the Apex and it's our choice hotel if we are in the area again!

Lovely hotel, some areas being refurbished. Restaurant food was lovely but menu choices limited. Bedrooms spacious and tidy. We found the beds a bit hard and the pillows too soft so not a great night's sleep.

Room had been renovated but still appeared a little dated (as did most of the hotel). Lovely staff and very clean room/property. Room service is not currently available due to the ongoing reno despite this being advertised within the room. Noisy on Saturday night

It was slightly dirty and run down. The food was acceptable. Way better to eat in the centre of town (walking distance). Parts of the property are under construction, but it was no noise or inconvenience. Probably a much better hotel when they are done renovating.

It looks like Apex are investing in this gorgeous building, which is great to see. Bed was super comfy and room very clean. The odd fixture and fitting was tired/loose but overall, good room. Plugs beside the bed would be a welcome bonus. Had dinner and brekkie in the hotel too - both yummy! Best buffet brekkie I’ve had in a while.

When we booked our family ensuite room it was to be a double bed & sofa bed. When I went to check in the girl on the reception said that the sofa bed was only suitable for a child & gave us a free upgrade to adjoining rooms which was a double & twin room both with ensuites.
