Enjoyed a great stay in a 1br serviced apartment. Staff very friendly and helped guide me to where my apartment was located. Apartment contained a massive recent model flat screen TV and I was able to connect my laptop to stream content as well as all the local free to air TV as needed. Kitchen well equipped and couch very comfortable. Apartment lovely and clean and in a very quiet neighbourhood. Top marks all around.

Was based on the ground floor but this meant that you could hear people upstairs walking around, using the bathroom and watching TV etc (also woke one night to a baby crying). Also had an issue with the kitchen sink not draining (which from the big hole in the garden bed adjacent appears to be "normal"). Rooms were clean and roomy though and beds comfortable.

The hotel room was clean and the staff were very nice. The free Wifi is pretty quick as qell. However, there is a door that connects to the next room that can not be locked. I've never felt so unsafe. The hotel also has a restaurant that you can not eat at you can only get eoom service or T/A. There is also a fee if you want to eat.
