On arriving at the accommodation we understood why we needed to pay a bond of $250 after viewing our room it was extremely disappointing as the toilet seat was half detached and the shower head was damaged to the point it needed replacing which potentially could cause risk of slipping The amount of water that ended up on the floor had to be mopped up with towel. Mold was all over the shower tiles. Shower curtain was mouldy. Frayed carpet, the cabinets in the kitchen were swollen with water damage there were scrapes on the walls. We had gone back downstairs that day to let the staff at the front desk know this. On leaving we did alert staff to theses issues we did not get an apology we were told that they would be renovating them next year and that was the reasoning behind the Lower rates. Although we did enjoy the amenities of the swimming pool etc. Its disappointing as all of these issues didn’t seem to be taken seriously. Its actually not a matter of how much you pay for a room it’s the fact that most of the issues that we saw should have been fixed because we paid for a room with a working shower and a toilet that we could sit on. The staff were lovely and polite it’s disappointing that it seemed to be something the staff were used to hearing. I’m not a person that complains but I feel this was something I wanted to let people know about.

Stayed for 1 night and it was lovely, the room was comfortable with a kitchenette and bathroom (even if the bathroom was a little outdated). It was great for being so central and walk-able, plus got it pretty cheap. Not bad for a place with a free gym, pool and sauna available in the stay.
