The room could have been cleaner. The shower pipes rattled. Please repaint numbers on car parks so it is easy to see. It was a convenient location for us.

Generally a nice apartment and stay. Downsides -queen bed was SO firm it was difficult to sleep, there was a lot of “people” noise from a close apartment during the middle of the night on several nights and we had problems every time we left the apartment to lock the door which was SUPER annoying.

The location was great. Quick walk to Jetty Road and the beach. The room was clean although could have done with some maintenance. Bathroom ceiling had paint peeling and some parts of wall had plaster missing. The first room we had, there were issues with the blind not working. After some back and forth with the representative on the phone, we were given another room.

Good location and value
Fantastic location. Comfortable beds. Bathroom could do with an upgrade. If you are coming from overseas note that there is no front desk and you will need a phone to get the code for the door.

Just a couple of things that would not be difficult to put right namely:
Blinds in bed room and lounge both needed attention
Wall lights were inoperative in lounge and bedroom
Tie cords on electric blanket were untied
An information sheet for the microwave would have been useful.

The Carpet was filthy and the bed was totally uncomfortable.
The Pillows are mostly 10 years old with no solid filling.
I won’t stay there ever again
