The apartments are separate from the hotel. Clean. Has what you need. Didnt advise there is only stairs & no lift. Not good being on the top floor with an injury that can’t do stairs well. Otherwise good for the price.

On arrival, we walked into a police eviction of someone staying there. It was extremely loud during the night, lots of parties happening. Second night there was another police eviction and a fire alarm/evacuation at 3am in the morning. On the third day, a mouse ran through the living room behind the fridge in the kitchen then back out, past our 5 month old daughter playing on her mat, down the hall not to be found. Staff offered us the room under ours or a free breakfast…

Nice stay

Enjoyed our stay in the apartment, bed was comfortable and easy to access the apartment . disappointed that we paid for parking when we didn’t have too as it was complementary with our stay in the unit. Also we’re not informed of $300 refundable deposit prior to booking for incidentals although there is no mini bar in the apartment.

Served our purpose for an overnight-er. The apartment itself was very spacious and not cramped or small at all, but definitely showed its age. Great to have onsite parking available for a fee but The car park definitely tests tour driving ability if you drive an suv. Tight is the only word to describe it with 20pt turns to get in and out. Location is great and in walking distance to restaurants and supermarkets etc but the traffic noise is very intrusive and loud. Chosen for its location in relation to an event and for 2 bedrooms 3 beds and price but I wouldn’t necessarily stay again for the same event.

Warm and comfortable though the windows could do with thicker curtains for the winter. I would've recommended the radiant panel heaters over their very powerful and easy to use dual system air con, while it's clearly a beast, it's an inefficient form of heating that fades the minute it's off to the plus it dries you out something shocking! They have spa baths as standard! Fantastic! Probably isn't the fanciest place out there, but for nice location,
