We had a lovely apartment and
We had a lovely apartment and the staff were friendly and helpful. The apartments are designed for self sufficiency so there is no room service but we were provided with quick action by the maintenance staff when we had a problem with the dvd player.

Overall Great location, unit was
Overall Great location, unit was a little dirty floor still had food on the floor. Great as an apartment but not like a hotel as we stayed for a week and the rooms dont get cleaned. Cot Hire was overpriced we could have purchased a new one for what they charged us for a week.

Apartment itself & location all
Apartment itself & location all great. The complaint was the smell of the floor of our apartment - like old rubbish. We had to run from the lift to our apartment holding our noses, and it got worse during the heat of the day. And couldn't leave the light/expelier on in the bathroom for long or the smell would come into the apartment itself.
