    Could have a few more items in the kitchen eg, baking tray for oven, glass container for microwave. A pair of scissors would also have been helpful

    Conveniently situated

    The glass doors to the balcony need to be addressed. Within 5 minutes of arrival, my husband, who saw me out on the balcony, thought I was out there and had lef tthe door open for him and walked straight into the side panel floor to ceiling glass sheet. There is nothing to indicate that it is glass (none of those sticky windows things). He was bleeding everywhere. I called reception and asked for some first aid supplies and ice, and they were up in minutes. They offered to call an ambulance, but we felt it was overkill at the time. I checked for concussion. We thought we would watch and wait. For anyone reading this far and curious ...he has been to our GP and gone had scans since our return home. Waiting now for results. Back to my point, management /body corporate really needs something on the glass to identify it as a window and not just a sheet of glass that someone can walk into. The person who came up with the ice said, "These windows are very clean," as she giggled at her comment. I responded yes clean which is great, but obviously not safe. Everyone we have shown photos to understand how he could have mistaken it for an open window, especially with me on the balcony. In his mind, it looked like I left the door partially open for him to come outside when he saw me there. Other than this incident, we had a pleasant stay, and we would likely stay there again as we loved the building facilities. The glass door incident simply negated some of the original activities we had in mind.

    We liked the comfy beds and cosy feel to the apartment. The kitchen had almost all basics you would want. We would have loved a sandwich toaster as they are so verstile and great at reheating lots of things. We enjoyed using the spa/pool and sauna area. The steam room is not operating at the moment. Areas were a mixed bag depending on when you got there. Never crazy busy. They are open till 10pm till Thursday but Friday and weekend the area closes at 8pm. I expect it is to avoid crazy weekend evening situations. The apartment was walkable to almost everything we visited. Undercover parking is available at the current rate of $30 for as many entries and exits as required as you are provided with your own remote, and we enjoyed this feature and not having to scramble for parking. There are likely other parking places that are cheaper, but being building based was so convenient for us.

    Everything was fine except for the shower. Water would escape the glass shower door as there we reasonable sized gaps between the glass.

    Good location at the edge of the city.

    Parking was a little difficult on checking out - however there was also roadworks that made this more difficult. I would still stay here again.

    Wonderful service from the hotel through booking.com messaging and they offered extra arrangement of the room and beds, which was great!

    Such a small thing, but the dish cloth looked like a paper towel. We couldn’t find a dust pan or vacuum cleaner.

    During our stay one of the elevators was broken, but the other one didn't take too long at least. The shower took some time to get the hot water going, especially late at night so we just had to turn it on much earlier. The apartments are not serviced which was completely fine, so if you needed anything extra, you just ask the reception and they will happily provide. The location wasn't the best as food, supermarkets, coffee etc were a minimum 5-10min walking distance. But overall, still a really good affordable hotel.

    The room was large and had plenty of space. The bed was a nice king size and super comfortable including the pillows. The bathroom also very spacious. Being an apartment it had all the amenities needed, even a balcony. Staff were helpful, friendly and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again for a short stay.

    The original room we were allocated

    We appreciated the help of Mark the maintenance man who went above and beyond in making our stay enjoyable and comfortable after the room we were allocated was very dirty, there was no ventilation in the bathroom and no foxtel. Mark made sure we were moved to a very nice room so as we could enjoy our stay. Thank you Mark

    Wasn't as close to the city centre as initially thought, which made it difficult for small children walking. Kitchens needs more utensils.

    Friendly staff. Good pool and spa facilities (however the pool could be warmer). Close to Central Markets and China Town. Spacious apartments with clean kitchen facilities.

    The toilet set was broken. Cobwebs hanging from ceiling. No free cold water. Red stain on the quilt, that was at my face area. The carpark is really quite hard to work out. I had to do a U-turn at a dead end. Signage could be better.

    I booked and arrived at motel 3 hours later. Staff where extremely friendly. The room was spacious. Having a dryer in the room really does make a difference after spending fantastic time in the spa and pool.
