Good location. Large and well appointed apartment. Comfortable bed.

Light from the carpark shining into the bedroom all night. The toilet struggled to flush toilet paper.

"Wouldn't stay again. Disappointed given we paid extra for specific set up ($50-$60)."

3.0

The apartment was comfortable and reasonably well equipped.

We specifically booked rooms that both had double beds and paid extra for this ($50-$60). It wasn't provided and the facility did nothing but make excuses rather than own up and offer a solution or a partial refund. Instead, the facility manager discriminated by saying 'it was too much work to rearrange beds and that families mostly stay in those rooms'. The room had no remote for the heating so no ability to control the temperature. We woke up to find the heating function on rather than the cooling function. Have contact the facility and they have ignored the message. I also spoke with them as did others at the time of the issues. Just feel ripped off and irritated given we were so deliberate in choosing accommodation that would cater for our needs. In terms of location, very few options to eat nearby. The local cafe only seemed to do coffee and no food.
