A photo or 3 can be deceiving

The Website photos certainly make the appearance better than it was. There are a lot of rooms, but hardly any with balconies or views. I wouldn’t stay there again, the whole place needs a lot of work and Maintinance.

Very poor experience. Place was dirty, hallways and adjoining room under renovation or gutted. Stained walls and furniture and mould on ceilings in both bedrooms. A roach dropped out of one of the towels when one was opened. Fan and aircon didn't work in the living room nor the dust encrusted exhaust fan in bathroom. We called to report this and no one got back to us. Only positives were the location is on the Strand and the bed was comfortable.

The staff accused us of having a pet and charged us with no proof, only returned the money after a day when the property was inspected by a cleaner the manager of the day refused to look and didn't even apologise when we proved we had no pet.
