We specifically chose the property as it advertised parking, yet when we got there we found that parking was not available on the property and to park on the street for free between 7pm and 7am. As it was Valentines Day...there was no parking and who wants to have to wake before 7am to shift their vehicle. Subsequently, we parked in the Carpark next door only to find that doesn't open the next day and we needed to pay a hefty penalty to have someone attend the carpark to let our car out....causing us to miss our next flight.

Extremely disappointed. Will not be back.

Very disappointing. I travel every few weeks here and abroad and this is easily the worst experience in the last year. I don’t normally leave reviews and have never left a negative review. 1. Glass door to balcony won’t lock so impossible to secure room. First floor balcony is easily accessible from outside. 2. Aircon remote screen broken so can’t control it as can’t see what you’re doing. 3. No water pressure in shower and almost no hot water water. Have to run for minutes to get it warm. 4. Didn’t replace hand towels. Took on first day and never replaced. 5. Hairdryer broken and held together with rubber bands. 6. Iron also broken Never got a reply back, update, explanation or apology. Told no other room available

Great location and decent sized room but room is poorly laid out. Shower was very dirty and fixtures broken/lose. No bed skirt which made it feel like a dorm room. Hotel desperately needs a good deep clean and some updates.

The one bedroom unit was clean, spacious and functional, with two A/C units ensuring a comfortable climate. The kitchen area was functional and adequately furnished. Overall furnishings were acceptable and the bathroom was obviously newly renovated and very nice. Prior comments intimated no street noise; we beg to differ, listening to probably young males (making up for other shortcomings?) racing their cars down the street. Overall the stay was acceptable, the staff were very friendly and the location was very convenient. Would we stay here again? The possibility of street noise would likely prompt us to at least consider other options.
