We had once stayed here and it was good. Now it seems that major renovations are due. Rooms felt outdated and dirty. We had the 3 bedroom apartment and it is certainly lacking in many ways.

For the price this was a great place to stay- bang for buck. Staff were over accomodating and super friendly. I travelled with mum and forgot to ask for the sofa bed too. We asked for sheets to make it upourselves but they insisted that they make it up for us and did. Great spot, close access to everthing but in a quieter part of town. Gave the real holiday vibe.

We got the 3 bedroom family suite. The only good thing was the beds were ok. The oven doesn't go, there were no baking tins, only one stovetop pan. There were no cloths or washing liquid, a overused washing brush and we had to ask for toilet paper after we arrived. For the price nearly $300 for the night, we expected the in-room amenities to be available. The main bedroom had water leaking all through the wardrobe on the carpet, from the shower on the other side of the wall. Will not stay again with our family, we had to "improvise" far too much even just for one night.

Our room had not been cleaned properly. There was dust around the walls, on surfaces and behind the bathroom door. One of the drapes was coming off the runner and the small blind over the small window was broken. The carpet from the entry way to our room was in desperate need of a vacuum. All the walls had scuff marks. The staff were not very welcoming.

Staff was nice. Room was dirty. Trash was in the bin when I arrived. Fridge was broken and smelly. Other guests were loud and running around the hall. Bathroom was really dirty with dust and dirt everywhere. Bed was old and uncomfortable. It was fine but I won’t be back.
