After 4 attempts I eventually found a clean coffee mug. The sliding door to bathroom/toilet does not completely close so it's a bit embarrassing if anybody is in the kitchen opposite. I'm sure these issues can be followed up as it's a great unit with easy access to all that Glenelg has to offer. Would definitely stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness
Generally a nice apartment and stay. Downsides -queen bed was SO firm it was difficult to sleep, there was a lot of “people” noise from a close apartment during the middle of the night on several nights and we had problems every time we left the apartment to lock the door which was SUPER annoying.

The room could have been cleaner. The shower pipes rattled. Please repaint numbers on car parks so it is easy to see. It was a convenient location for us.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
No front desk or staff at property so no mechanism to checkin aside from dodgy looking link outside hotels.com with extra fee at 4%, which doesn't align with the ACCC. Despite checkin being at 2pm, I was sent details on how to access room at 5pm.The carparking is essentially on street, not covered. Rooms are accessible directly to street. No conditioner provided. Went to use a mug and the first 3 I pulled out of the cupboard were dirty.

Nicely surprised

I was nicely surprised, thought it was a great 3 star room close to Jetty Road. Loved having a code to the door and not worrying about a key and loved I didn't have to check in, paper work etc. Netflix on tv, good supplies. Quiet, but had aircon on for noise barrier I'd stay again keeping in mind its basic , clean and awesome location for $

Liked: Cleanliness
The location was great. Quick walk to Jetty Road and the beach. The room was clean although could have done with some maintenance. Bathroom ceiling had paint peeling and some parts of wall had plaster missing. The first room we had, there were issues with the blind not working. After some back and forth with the representative on the phone, we were given another room.
