I was pretty disappointed in staying here for how much we spent. The first room we were in there was no cover on the aircon vent, the kitchen sink faucet was not secured, the fridge was missing a foot and therefore wobbly and most importantly the aircon wasn't working. We changed rooms and in that room the soap dispenser was mostly pulled off the wall, all the bottles were empty with full bottles sitting on the shelf (as if that staff couldn't figure out how to change them), there was no cover on the key pad, and there were toenail clippings on the carpet suggesting it hadn't been vacuumed. We accepted these faults but still not overly impressive.

We paid for an extra bed and that was put up, when we queried it we were told it we hadn’t paid for it but in the morning we were told we did and that we would receive a refund but didn’t. There were only 2 towels, no milk, and cigarette butts all on the balcony.

Not bad for an overnight stay. The glasses and plates etc were dirty when we got there, but we couldnt use the dishwasher as it was jammed shut and couldnt open. Parking system was great once we got manually let in as our swipes never worked. The location was great.

The apartment was in poor condition and not cleaned very well. Badly patched holes on the walls, missing extraction grate above the shower with duct tape where it was once stuck. Beds haven’t been vacuumed under in awhile, curtains coming off the tracks. General rundown condition. For the price of the apartment this was very disappointing.

We couldn’t use our bathroom sink all weekend as it was broken. Even when we went to reception to see if someone could take a look no one did during our stay. Our bed sheets were dirty, and there were cans of beer all under the bed from the guests prior. When I went to check out I mentioned this to the staff and said it just wasn’t good enough considering we paid money to stay, I was assured someone would contact me to discuss this and still not a single phone call. Dirty rooms and poor communication.
