We stayed in a two-bedroom apartment for one night. The room facilities were outdated, and many items were broken or in poor condition. The sofa was also dirty, which made the apartment feel poorly maintained. On a positive note, the reception staff were friendly and welcoming.

Property was in a good location close to restaurant and bars etc.
Room wasn’t the cleanest, family of 4 shared one bathroom due to cleanness of ensuite in main. Stained toilet seat, thick black hairs in shower.
Had to remove shower cap from broken smoke detector in Kitchen?? Maybe should have been worn in shower?
Stained carpets, dirty and marked walls etc. Would stay in same area but at different hotel next time.

Great location. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were large, a great kitchen.
Somewhat rundown just needs a good paint and lounge upgrade and new carpet. Kitchen and bathrooms clean. Bed comfy. I think some people would feel unsafe. Good views. Price reasonable and Cafés close by.

The first room we had a toilet that won't stop running, the main tv had had the aerial ripped out so wasn't working. The cutains in the loungeroom were ripped. The carpet in the fining room had a big bare patch.There was dirty crockery in the cupboard.
We got moved to another room which had the basin in the ensuite all cracked and the tv in the bedroom wasn't working. One of the toilets was also running all the time.
All in all the property maintenance seemed non existant and the reception staff very slow. The desk was unattended and you had to call out or knock to get them to come out and acknowledge you were there

First rooms balcony might as well been the hallway, only a short handrail between the balcony and other rooms (mulgiple) entry. Second apartment had holes in the curtains and one of the towels. Kitchen had 50+ salts, 2 peppers and no sugers, one coffee mug in the cupboard was unwashed and heavily stained. Only 1x remote for 2x airconditioners. Asked for a second key to be advised only one was available. Three stars given due to its location and not the accomodation, showing its age and lack of general maintence.

The room is tired. The bath / shower area is unkept with mould on shower screen / tiles area. Bath plug is old with stain / mould, not up to hygiene standard. The plastic kettle is quite old as well. However the room is spacious. The bed and Beddings are comfortable. And the staff are all very helpful. So we got the bath plug replaced the next day. Parking space is very tight. Not easy to park / unload luggage. But great location though.

One toilet did not work when we arrived, this was fixed. I then listened to 2 toilets all night on and off with the cistern filling all the time.

We had fire alarms going off around 9.30pm and had to evacuate the motel, no real directions from staff as we all congregated in the driveway and watched the fire department arrive, again didn’t hear anything, but went back inside with everyone else.

No co ordination from staff to get everyone back to our rooms

Bed was hard as a rock, lounge old and dirty and uncomfortable.

Bathroom old, cracks in the walls, paint peeling

Convenient, spacious, a little old

This hotel is very well located and the apartment is well-equipped. The furnishings are a bit tired and the bathrooms are dated. It is very clean, but due to the age of things, so areas seem a little grubby. The beds are relatively comfortable - not saggy which is very good, although they are also a little hard, but not terrible. The pool is nice and is heated although it still seems very chilly! The gym is small but has most key kinds of equipment and a sauna. Having two bedrooms, one with twin beds is a key attraction for this place.

Have stayed before in the past, the cleanliness of the place has gone down hill.
Reception said that they would give us another room, but we had already settled in and unpacked, and just wanted to get dinner after late arrival.
After we returned, we noticed that house keeping had been in our room. Which was quite rude, as they didn’t clean anything, and they failed to inform us. Management has changed and it’s noticeably declined. Property needs maintenance due to aging and housing keeping are not up to standards. Bathrooms were very unclean, with mold growth, toilet hadn’t been cleaned , oven hadn’t been cleaned and was disgusting,balcony had rubbish and left over food from previous guests. the bedding was clean and comfortable though. I think the beds were the only thing that was cleaned/changed.

Convenient location, close to shops and eateries, spacious apartment and friendly staff are the pluses. The decor and furniture are a bit dated. The bath tub had a crack on the outside and was mended by a tape. Servicing was to be provided every 3 days. We stayed for 4 nights and staff kindly helped arrange servicing after 2 nights when we requested. Overall we were satisfied given the favourable pricing.

Well located, clean, functional, good value

This property is well located and provides short-term apartments at a reasonable price. There is a decent gym and swimming pool. This was our second stay here and we were happy again. The bathrooms and kitchens are a little dated, but still clean and functional. The kitchen is very well equipped. The mattress is firm, which is good, but it has no pillow-top or anything to soften it a bit, which is not so good (better than being saggy though!). Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay here again.

Dangerous bath room

At 70+ years of age, it is dangerous for me to climb into a bath. Having a sign that says “be careful” is pointless: I am always careful. Providing rooms that have walk-in showers would make using the hotel safer. Spa-baths might seem like a luxury inclusion, but they present a hazard to guests.

Will definitely be a guest again, it was a great all-rounder with good amenities and walking distance to CBD, lots of cafes and fitness places nearby too (as well as in-house gym, pool, sauna). I appreciated early check-in happened to be available, and the 11am check-out. Loved the kitchen included a coffee plunger, and the 7-11 behind the complex had good value take away coffees.

A couple of quibbles: the kitchen tap in 409 had twisted so much it was hard to properly turn on cold uthout hitting the wall, and the bedroom air con did not guve warm air (relied on the living room air con unit which worked well, but was a little on the cool side first night, and only 1 blanket).

Nice to have a spa bath, tv in bedroom, laundry (older appliances but worked well) and close to everything. Good reception staff.

Location is unfortunately very noisy, Friday, Saturday, some primates keep screaming in the streets, fights, police etc.
But therefore you have shopping, dining, breakfast, gelato and much more at your door step. A walk to the National Art gallery is just 50 minutes, through parks and waterfronts.
And with Australia changing prime minister every few months, chances are, you are asked to be the next one.
