Loved that the lights and heater was on on our arrival. Good comms pre arrival and Nice welcome note. Only downfall was the complex was a bit old run down . Carparking not ideal and we expected a bath, cooking and laundry washing facilities judging by the photos. Pays to read the fine print and double check before booking exactly what you are booking rather than relying on photos
. $145 for 2 adults and 1 kid. Cant complain too much for that price.

It's exactly what ypu expect for the price, it'sa room where you sleep and nothing more. Rhe room wasn't serviced every day which is hard when you are travelling with two kids.
Will never go to that hotel again!! Checking in was horrible along with the room.
Smelt so bad was very out dated and broken windows.
Pictures on ad were not what it turned out to be.
Do not stay here!!
Very disappointed and upset as it was too late to change. So had to stay!!
Bathroom, kitchen areas tired.
Bedside cabinet surfaces sticky, no coasters so cups etc stuck ..
Bed clean and comfortable, some of pillows could be better.
Staff excellent and helpful.

Handy location. Clean. No real issue with room. Overall a little dated and exterior maintenance needed.
We were hesitant about staying here but such a pleasant surprise! Lovely little units, warm had everything you needed and amazing location

The place was clean comfortable warm and the facilities were great. The room was tired looking and could do with some simple upgrades but over all it was great for what I needed. Would stay there again for sure. Only down fall if families were there that didn’t control there kids with running around, yelling and slamming doors on my last night there. Staff were great and friendly and helpful. Thankyou. 😊
Check in tricky as no one on site unless you ring, had a plumbing issue in bathroom which left us unable to shower etc in the morning so we used the kitchen sink which also had a dodgy tap
It was affordable and very handy but don’t expect too much
Very friendly at checkin..taking us to our room.
Old complex,but quiet & well kitted out.
Couch & all utensils,microwave

there was an error with my booking date and they would not assist al all insisting I book and pay for another night.
I decided to stay at Wrights by the Sea, extremely accomodating .
Infact last time i stayed at U Studio tgere was an exposed unsafe power point in the bathroom.
The staff were so friendly and helpful. Great location, had everything we needed in our unit.
