Mantra Sierra Grand

Very nice hotel for our short stay in the Gold Coast. Beautiful views to the beach especially for the morning sunrise. The facilities were good and the staff friendly and accomodating with any of our needs.

Our serviced apartment was in a great location, directly across from Pacific Fair shopping centre, and a short walk from the beach and restaurants of Broadbeach. While that's great, my main expectation when booking any accommodation is cleanliness and hygiene... I’ve never encountered an issue like we had here. When we checked into Mantra Sierra Grand Broadbeach earlier this week, we realised our beds were made with just a fitted sheet and a top sheet—no quilt, blanket, or doona. We called and requested quilts, assuming this was an error. Someone arrived and remade our beds with a quilt. It wasn't until we went to put our son to bed that evening, I realised we were given uncovered quilts which had been put directly in contact with the bottom sheet on the bed, with the top sheet just placed in top of the quilt. These quilts also had visible stains... I was so confused. We had a spare bed in my son's room, so managed to make his bed up using these sheets, so he wouldn't be in direct contact with the uncovered quilt. We flipped the sheet on our bed to put between us and our quilt. When I asked at reception the next morning for an extra sheet for us, so we could make our bed properly and wouldn't have to come in contact with the stained quilt, I was told that this wasn't an error, that it is standard practice for Mantra hotels in Queensland - double sheeting only, no triple sheeting, no quilt covers etc. While the staff member agreed to send up one extra sheet and a towel at my request, these then never came. There was no apology, and no sense that this was unusual or unhygienic. While our apartment wasn't the cleanest in general, this crossed such a line for me, I'm actually still horrified. I also really regretted not looking at all the similar reviews before booking, as I can see this is a longstanding issue that hasn't been addressed. It never crossed my mind that a hotel brand as trusted as Mantra would provide uncovered quilts and expect guests to sleep directly against them. It's completely below the standard you’d expect from this company. This experience really impacted our comfort and feeling of cleanliness throughout the stay. In addition, the windows in our apartment offered very little protection from the sound of loud winds, as well as night roadworks, which began at around 1am, every night of our stay. The block out blinds were also missing in the bedrooms (there was one in the loungeroom, so it was obvious what was missing - some blinds did remain in the bedrooms, but with gaps in between them), which meant the light in the bedrooms was quite bright, even at night. All in all, I am just so disappointed. We won’t be returning.

Great location to all things Broadbeach with free parking😍

The wifi was very slow. The beds were a bit hard, the dining room table badly needed repair. Overall a pleasant stay.

Pools and grounds were nice.Apartment could do with an update
