We
recently
stayed
in
an
Airtrip
Apartment
in
Mackay
as
part
of
our
tour.
I
wanted
to
urge
anyone
who
was
thinking
of
using
this
service
to
reconsider.
A.
After
a
14
hour
driving
day
our
team
was
instructed,
even
after
payment
of
the
apartment,
to
fill
out
a
check
in
(seems
pretty
standard).
The
check
in
form
required
you
to
put
down
a
$500
security
deposit.
Not
only
that
but
in
order
to
pay
for
the
security
deposit
you
are
charged
a
$15.00
administration
fee.
B.
We
had
no
other
recourse
than
to
pay
it
and
we
filled
out
the
form
and
provided
identification.
After
that
we
called
their
off-site
reception
(based
in
the
phillipines)
where
we
spoke
with
a
lady
that
put
our
team
on
hold
for
10
minutes
before
getting
back
to
us
and
telling
us
the
management
team
requires
further
proof
of
our
identification.
AFTER
they
accepted
our
security
deposit
plus
administration
fee
AND
having
already
paid
for
the
apartment.
C.
Eventually,
after
45
minutes
of
back
and
forth,
we
got
into
the
apartment
suite
where
the
team
immediately
wanted
to
rest.
The
apartments
were
outdated,
with
cracks
in
the
wall,
stains
in
the
carpet,
inadequate
utensils
in
the
kitchen,
and
lights
that
did
not
work.
D.
The
whole
system
of
check
in
was
convoluted
and
unnecessary.
Airtrip
buy
out
apartments
in
already
established
hotel
chains
and
make
the
experience
worse.
Our
apartment
was
located
in
an
Oaks
hotel
only
with
the
added
benefit
of
not
having
the
help
of
any
Oaks
staff.
E.
This
whole
airtrip
apartments
business
model
is
a
scam
to
travellers
and
we
DO
NOT
recommend
anyone
staying
here.
Our
team
tours
a
lot
and
we
have
never
had
to
put
down
a
$500
security
deposit,
especially
for
a
place
that
was
half
as
good
as
what
the
Hotel
it
was
located
in
would've
been.
