this was a really good place to stay, the only thing i would give feedback on was the rooms smelt like cleaning products but it made it smell like an old persons smell, like an old musty motel. That was the difference from getting 5 stars, other than that it was great

The advertised photos were old and did not show the damage to the unit- sealant around the bath/shower, no power setting on range, burnt black frying pan, broken tap in laundry, microwave sitting on bench, Dryer tripping out due to dirty filter, Fridge ice box full of ice, floor tiles taped together in bathroom, laminate mixing from kitchen cupboard. The bed was very comfortable thankfully :-)

I stayed in a one bedroom studio for two weeks. The stove was dirty. The heater on the blink (it got fixed on my third last night - thanks very much) and I got barely any assistance from the office staff. I called well before my holiday seeking a quiet room and was assured this would happen. But on arrival, I was given a room facing the main road. It was noisy al day and all night. I liked the area but if I ever return, I will chose a nicer place.

The location was perfect. 1 block from the beach and the tram stop is close by. Shopping and restaurants are within 4 min either direction by tram or walkable. The room was clean and kitchen had everything I needed to cook and eat in the room. I enjoyed the spa, pool and sauna after long walks. The gym has basics. The grounds were well maintained and has a grill and nice sitting area. I had a little trouble checking in as the directions went to my junk mail but the property manager, who is lovely, was able to help. This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at!
