The connecting room to our studio apartment had no sound proof at all so unfortunately had to listen to a group of people partying in the middle of the night like I was in the same room as them. I wanted to leave and go home. I have stayed a number of times over the past 15 years but won’t be returning

Staff were very friendly and helpful on check in. The room itself was very clean and the bed/pillows were so comfortable. The only negative for me was the lack of curtains. There is a window in the verandah area that could not be covered so there was light coming in all night.

Generally ok but when they didn’t bother to service my room when it was due or even after I told them it wasn’t done I cancelled my second week & found somewhere else. When you have to carry your own bin to reception & ask for a new bin bag it’s pretty shabby.

Terrible Check in Process

Check in process was terrible. Reception was closed when we arrived - closed at 5pm. Placed on hold when trying to check in my phone. Required to upload licence and credit card information despite the fact that the room was already paid for. Codes did not work to access the building. Took mulitple phone calls. A passweby on the street noticed out dilemma and reinforced taht others had expressed concern regarding this process. Took over an hour. Room itself was OK but the check saga spoiled our stay.
