10/10 Excellent
I had a fantastic stay at Argo Apartments. The building is very new, and the rooms are beautifully appointed with everything you need for a comfortable visit. The location is excellent — right on Church Street and only a short walk to the Mall, Belmore Basin, and both North and City Beach.
One of the standout features of Argo is how incredibly quiet the apartments are. I enjoyed a truly peaceful and restful stay, which made the experience even better.
The staff were awesome — friendly,...

We loved our room. It was newly renovated and had a beautiful bathroom. Close to cafes and a few minutes drive to the marina. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful.

Clean, quiet, spacious, excellent facilities - meets all my tests for a great night's rest. This hotel is actually 20 rooms inside a golf club. Huge rooms with separate living room with fridge, microwave, and tea making facilities. Super clean. Nice desk staff. Within one block of Aldi grocer store and a MacDonalds. I did not try the restaurant but walked through it and it looked quite good.

Loved that we could walk to the beach, or walk to the lake for fishing. We also loved the bike track that went over the bridge.

We regularly stay here. The only thing I would ask and this is for all motels that they let you know if the bed is firm or soft. I know it’s a big ask but it’s really disappointing when you’re so tired and get into bed and it’s so hard you can’t rest.
First world problem I know but it’s the only fault I can find.
