My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and convenience. The room had all the necessities for a cozy stay, although the overpowering industrial air freshener was a downside. The location couldn't have been better, right in the heart of Airlie Beach with easy access to everything, but the hike up to the 5th-floor room was a bit tiring.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. On the bright side, my room had a lovely view of the Airlie lagoon where I could watch my teenagers swim. Unfortunately, the room's location by reception made it noisy with constant chatter and ringing phones, plus the nightclub across the road added to the disruption.
