Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
This was not a good experience. The unit was old and musty. Bathroom light was not working and multiple other issues were noted once we settled in. We were travelling with 3 kids and came off a long flight . They did not have any other unit avaliable till another 2 hours for an exchange. I did not get what i paid for. I am requesting a partial refund. The pictures i saw on expedia and the age of the apartments and amenities i received were worlds apart. Would never come to this property and would urge others not to book. It is absolute cheating. I never give good or bad reviews but this one truly brought me to the edges.

Will not stay here again. Room smelly, no sound proofing, cleanliness average. Staff show no interest in guests. We were made to wait outside of building after traveling over 13 hours until staff member finished their phone call. Intermittent banging through night and day, not sure if from lift. Disappointing. Do not recommend.

Apartment was well worn and very disappointing compared to photos. Lounge and bedroom mirrors and coffee table weren’t even vaguely clean. Bathrooms seemed clean but water damaged. Bulb blown in bedside lamp. Clearly apartment had previously been tenanted by smokers so smelt as such. Staff weren’t that friendly and nearby church bells ran pretty much all weekend which was loud enough in the apartment but very loud by pool. Also, no stopping by entrance so awkward with Ubers etc. I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Good solid stay....
... initially I was put off by the somewhat dated nature of the unit. The kitchen and bathroom were original but still quite functional. The daggiest piece of furniture was the table in front of the lounge That said it was comfortable and clean and quiet. The a/c worked well and the bed was comfy. The staff were very helpful too. The unit had all we needed so, we would stay again at a good price! .... YMMV
