The Mantra is convenient to everything and check in was easy. Unfortunately the unit was very rundown. The lounge was very stained and the furnishings and carpet very worn. The carpark is quite tight to exit if you have a large vehicle. I also was placed in an accessible apartment which was fine however if I’d been in a wheelchair there is absolutely no way i could have accessed the bedroom as the lounge was only about 50cm from the door. There was also a strong smell of cigarettes in the apartment and no tea towels.

We were a family of 4 and had a one night stay at the Mantra. It ticked all the boxes. It is on a main road so the surrounds are particularly picturesque but it was quiet and had plenty of street parking. We'd definitely go back as it was good value relative to other accommodation options in the Gong

Overall a pleasant stay and very quiet. The superior apartment was a very good size, but the single shower was small. No bath. Only given limited towels. Kitchenette was excellent. Staff were good. The one small lift was terribly slow - really slow.

I walked into my room, found some type of disgusting stains all over the lounge and cushions. The property smells, is old and dirty. There is one lift that takes forever to get up and down. The room itself is awful. Bare and old with very little in it - just large open void. I left the property immediately upon walking into my room and changed to another hotel. A definite hotel to avoid. Looks nothing like the photos online.

Very happy with property, especially taking dogs. I must say I saw plenty of dogs but didn't hear them. I think my biggest concern was for property next door, that had grass area, which was obvious place that people were taking their dogs to, but I disappointed that I'm sure there were guests not picking up after themselves. I think hotel could make a few dollars doing a doggy daycare
