Bayview Tower

We stayed for one night and overall had a good experience. The room was generally clean and tidy, but the curtains probably need an upgrade—they didn’t block out the light at all. We were on the 4th floor, in a corner room facing the city. Unfortunately, the noise from nearby pubs and clubs came straight through and kept us up most of the night, which wasn’t ideal as we were travelling for a competition with our 9-year-old. The car park was also a bit of an issue—very tight access with limited space, so we had to park on the street, which was tricky in the rain. On a positive note, the breakfast was awesome and the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The location is great and convenient for getting around the city. We would definitely stay again but next time we’ll be requesting a room on the opposite side of the main street to avoid the noise.

On arrival, the outside of the property and reception looked very grubby and tired. The receptionist was pleasant but I'm sure she didn't know what the room was like as she would be embarrassed to hand over the keys. Although the room had been adequately cleaned, the room was old, tired and the bathroom is in desperate need of a renovation. There were no bedside tables, no powerpoints near the bed, one powerpoint was partially detached from the wall. The only sitting space was the bed. The crockery and cutlery were a mish mash of different types. The outdoor setting didn't match. It was advertised as having Foxtel but there wasn't any, message on the TV screen was the account hadn't been paid. The advertisement and photos of the property do not give the true picture of what it is really like. Room 307, terrible. I would definitely not recommend this property. The only positive is the location.
