Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is close to the city and has parking however there are a number of issues with the property. The bathroom sink was getting clogged and took a long time to drain. The bathroom floor needed cleaning. There was considerable mould on the bathroom ceiling. The shower curtain is supported by rope. There was also hair in the beds. There is no check in desk as stated online, the property is down a lane directly off the street. The towels were thin and old considering the price we were paying per night. There was also a smell coming from the lane way in the morning that was terrible. The stairs in the unit are very steep and unsuitable for elderly or people with mobility issues. This needs to be communicated online so people are aware. The windows do not lock, however the windows do have bars on them. The property needs to be maintained better considering the price that is being charged per night.
