Sage is a good Gong option
The Sage is a good hotel, conveniently located near the beach, walking distance from shops and restaurants, The bed was very comfortable and the staff are very friendly. The pool is also nice. Great value if you can get a room for under $200

Good view with Delicious room service
Good size room with King bed made up of 2 single beds. Upgraded room with balcony and arena and beach views. Room service delicious both dinner and breakfast. Under cover car parking. Only negative was noisy neighbours running up and down the corridor at 2.30am 🙄. I would stay here again for the food alone 😉

Friendly Staff, but in need of a reno
Staff were friendly and the location was great.
However, the hotel is in need some of love and a proper clean.
Our room (904) was by the lifts and incredibly noisey, not helped by the large gap at the bottom of the front door.
Within the room, the curtains and TV were visibly broken, the remainder of the room was run down and tired.
For the price, would stay at one of the serviced apartments in the city instead.

Lovely hotel with poor service.
Location of hotel was excellent, hotel was nice but can't be said of staff. Disappointed as soon as checking in. When asked for crockery which was not in the room, staff asked to "come down and get it yourself". Had to express disappointment before crockery delivered. Wanted to charge parking fee when car was parked off street.

Don’t stay here
Unable to get the room serviced or fresh towels in 4 day stay despite leaving clean my room on the door handle. Very tired wake and carpet heavily scuffed and marked, tiles dirty and fixtures broken. Smelly. Expensive and all you are paying for is location.

We stay at Sage regularly as it enables us to visit our daughters, however, over time it is becoming tired. The chair in the room was worn through on the arm, the curtains are worn and the worst part this time was the dank damp smell in the room - bit like wet dog.
The bed is comfortable and the shower great, in a spacious bathroom and parking is easy.
