This property is nothing like the photos- definitely overpriced and not well managed or cleaned. The foyer and corridor leading to apartment is smelly and filthy. The apartment smelt of previous cooking and you couldn't open windows- no flyscreens but mosquitos. No furniture or comfort- one couch for three people - dirty carpet. No lift so 90yr old had to use stairs.

Overall disappointing. The property felt tired and worn. It took an hour to get the air con working which ended up needing to be reset via the remote. Small cockroaches appeared when I sat on the lounge. I was informed no parking was available yet the carpark was less than half full all night.

These apartments were clean and comfortable but were completely uninspiring (black furniture, no artwork) and nothing to make them even a little bit sustainable - no recycling bins, a massive chux cloth per stay which gets thrown out, single use plastic body care bottles etc. Also, I was put on hold for 30 mins several times when I tried to call the off-site receptionist and couldn't get through - gave up.

The property is well situated in Newcastle and convenient to a number of dining options. Only trouble was with the airconditioning - one room it wouldn't turn on and the other it wouldn't turn off.

Location was great. Staff we encountered via phone were quite abrupt. Parking was advertised as included and we had to pay $20 per night. No apology, just a rude manner. Price was right overall.
