There were stains on the carpet when we first arrived aswell as sauce on the balcony wall. The amenities like the frying pan where broken aswell as a lack of a flipper for the pan.2 large ladels where provided but they were not useful when it came to things like eggs and pan cakes. There was also no vent in the bathroom and if you are staying for multiple days it risks mould growing so we had to open the balcony and bathroom door in hopes of avoiding that. The bed was made nicely and the room smelt ok.Staff where helpful when it came to providing toilet paper and bin bags

The apartment size and location was ideal however there was never any staff around at the front desk, nor would they answer any calls or call back. The beds and pillows were horrible in the family 1 bedroom apartment, that I slept on the couch after the first night. We woke up with sore necks and backs everyday. Carpet was dirty so I vacuumed when we arrived due to so much hair on the carpets it was disgusting.

No AC, no alternative.

Free parking and convenient location. The positivity stops there. I spent 4 nights here and upon arrival noticed the air conditioner didnt work. I asked reception and they said somebody would come look at it. Nobody came until late on the next day and did nothing. I received an email to say a new air conditioner would be installed on the final night of my stay. I was never offered to move rooms and was essentially made to "deal" with no air conditioning on a week of 30 degree days and 90+ % humidity. Will not be returning.
