We arrived to check in, the man working on the desk had no idea how to operate the eftpos. It took 40 minutes to check in. Then to be told our room was not ready. It was 3pm. Checkin was at 2pm. We were unable to check in to our room until 4pm and were late for our event.

Bed was really comfortable and room size was great. Painfully slow check in and the apartment furniture was very scuffed and worn. Uncomfortable couch with no cushions provided. Windows and walls had a lot of marks and weren’t very clean.

The Expedia site lists the reception hours with closing at 8pm 7 days per week. This is not correct, apparently they close the reception at 7pm weekdays and 5pm weekends. This was inconvenient and the Expedia site should be corrected

Troublesome stay
No front desk staff made it troublesome to get in after hours. No after hours support on site was also troublesome especially since we are traveling internationally. Hotels.com website mentioned availability of kitchen which was non existent.
