Easy check in, mostly good facilities but really need some maintenance and updating around the outside area. The thing that lets it majorly down is the bed. I don’t think I slept an hour over the whole night. Could feel and hear the springs when moving. That is the thing that sticks in my mind and overshadows the good.

The photos online are deceiving. The apartment we were placed in was too small for our family of 6 and really run down. We were supplied with the world’s smallest bin in the kitchen and they put floor boards in the bathroom and asks people not to get them wet… you’re in a bathroom. There were cracks in all the walls, doors didn’t shut properly and a homeless man started sleeping in the laundry halfway through our stay. We wouldn’t stay here again. The only thing it had going for it was that it was close to the beach.

We didn’t realize that there was no manager on site so had to wait on arrival for a bit, no worries...one of the bedrooms had a large previously wet area on the shower wall side floor, shower leaks on bottom in two places, mould on bottom of bed sheet, dirty bedding in kids room..whole unit was very damp and although heated pump was on low the whole time, heavily condensated throughout unit. Smoke detecter in kids room fallen off roof. The floors were freezing and we had to leave shoes on unless in bed. The adults bed was terribly uncomfortable with springs poking us all night. Tv and large, foldout couch all good but one night was enough. Paid for multiple, not for us thanks.

Not being able to lock the front sliding door was the biggest issue. Unit security was extremely weak. The stairs access door had to be held shut to ensure the auto lock actually engaged. The flooring outside of the bathroom has lifted causing a tripping hazard that we had to be very aware of. One out of four bathroom heat lamps were working and the main light didn't work. We requested additional FOB keys but there was only one available. The garage allocated to us had the unmistakable stench of urine so we took another which caused issues with other guests. Will not be recommending this location.

Didn’t like anything about this property, 4 sets of stairs to climb with suitcases to my room, no lift, it had been cleaned but was still grubby, mirror in bathroom cleaned at bottom but marks all over the top, the cupboard in the bathroom had paper ripped all over the floor, maybe a rat! The overflow on the floor was full of water and spider webs cover the top.Very uncomfortable bed, blind in bedroom had strung to hold it closed, had a hole in it which was taped over with silver wide tape!!! Couldn’t get tv working but on last day manager came and sorted, one remote to turn on 2nd remote was for functions, should had left instructions? Would I stay here again, NO, paid way too much for this room!
