Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My first room had a very smelly odour and was dirty. The cooktop was a portable cooker with rusted elements you would pull out of the door. Very limited bench space. I asked for another room and it took 2 days to change. Finally got my new room after threatening to leave. Room was cleaner but tv didnt work. Had to wait another day for a new tv. Belcony air-conditioned was leaking water and i slipped on the tiles hurting my back and head slamming on the tiled floor. This complex has full-time residents on the higher levels and are not friendly. There were asian ladies coming to the foyer asking if i was staying here and if wanted extra services. They charged me a $200 bond which i agreed to pay. The day i was suppose to check out my flight got cancelled so i booked another night. They again asked for a $200 bond. Now 2 weeks later they are still holding onto $400 bond. PLEASE STAY AWAY

Money was taken from my account and still waiting for it to be put back into my account.They are quick to take but forever to deposit back into my account.There was no offer of upgrading our stay or an offer of a free night at their expense as it was their fault that money was taken from my account.
