“Stay elsewhere”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed here in October 2011 and didn't write a review because we had nothing positive to say. Miserable female desk staff greeted us upon book in with grunts and one word answers. Accommodation was accessed down narrow driveway with an even narrower carport. No warning prior about access limits with large sedans and parking was very difficult. Must have been a party week when we stayed because the neighbours( a female sports team of some sort) didn't really let up with the partying each night till the early hours. Would have complained but after the miserable reception, we figured that it wouldn't get us anywhere. Inside the apartment was okay. Furniture was cheap and cheerful and couldn't get over the size of the LCD TV in the lounge. It was tiny. Don't know if it was a stand in because the main set was out for repairs or it was the real thing. Would have been better suited as a computer monitor. The bottom step of the stair case was a ripper and we both stumbled several times on it. Drunks watch out. We stayed here because of its proximity to business interests we had nearby. Glad we did because we now know not to use it again in the future.

Room Tip: Stay at the Hilton or Medina a short distance away.

“DO NOT STAY HERE !!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed in a two storey townhouse and have to say, as seasoned travellers, our accommodation and dealings with management or should we say, lack thereof at the 'Quest on Sturt' are the worst we have ever encountered !!!!

Where to begin ??

1) Garage is far too small for any car larger than a mini.
2) Dark, dingy & depressing downstairs.
3) Not located in a nice part of town.
4) Strong smell of mould when bathroom shower turned on.
5) Toilet in En-suite runs continually until cistern is thumped !!
6) Rubber on mattresses, which are not nice to sleep on in hot summer nights.
Especially when ..........Yes, you guessed it ......
7) Air Conditioning doesn't work !!

Some things you can tolerate but an Air Conditioner that doesn't work in heat up to 40 degrees is definitely not one of them !!!!
Even their own staff came in and commented how hot is was in the apartment.
When we complained to the girl on reception we were given a ....... DESK FAN !!!


The heat was so unbearable we cut our stay short by 6 days and would certainly not agree with the 4* rating.

Word of warning, if you do stay here and have a complaint, don't expect any acknowledgment from Management.

Our stay was definitely NOT a pleasant experience !!!!!

Room Tip: Stay elsewhere !!!

“Didn't get their foot in the door..”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 December 2011

My daughter and her friends arranged to stay one night after their Year 12 formal only to get to the hotel and was informed that they could not have the room that was booked for them because of a deposit that was not paid. The friend's mom had $300 taken out from her credit card account and yet the hotel did not have any record that a deposit was paid, even after this mother received confirmation that the room was ready for her daughter and friends, even after speaking with hotel staff the night before to confirm the room would be ready for her daughter and friends.. So not happy with the customer service, my daughters friend's mother decided to cancel the room and ended up paying another $300 cancellation fee.. So far she's ended up loosing $600 for a room that was not used. They definitely need to improve communications between reservation and reception.

“Wouldn't do it again..”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

Having read many of the positive reviews we opted to stay here for the weekend of the Pageant. I should have taken notice of the ones that said "grotty". We should have gone home, home is much, much cleaner and more comfortable and we would not have been out of pocket. Location was good, convenient, perfect for the Pageant It was apartment 31 so def not 4 star, would struggle to be 3! It's a pity that it isn't properly cleaned and painted, then it would be worthwhile spending your money.

Room Tip: don't stay in apartment 31

“Convenient and VFM”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

Just got back from spending 4 nights here on a family break.
Reception was a good start - our allocated room was missing a parking entry fob (critical for this location) so without any issue we were given an alternative apartment.
The apartment was a townhouse set up and very clean. They are effectively a 2 bedroom + study and 2 bathroom set up and very modern.
Downstairs the kitchen had good quality appliances and was reasonably well equipped for cutlery and utensils although as ever you need to wash up regularly if you are staying with kids to avoid running out of stuff.
Technology was good with 2 TVs and a DVD player although the main TV was on the small side and the DVD unit was non-functional but this was not a big issue.
The location is awesome, really close to the CBD and the Glenelg tram and parklands.
Would definitely stay here again.

Room Tip: Not a room tip but be aware the garages are very small if you have a larger car
