Staff brilliant. Apartment tired, furniture basic but had all we required.
Pros:

As promised we had a wonderful view over the marina. The staff were absolutely wonderful. The microwave and tv remote were both faulty..we were supplied with brand new microwave and the maintenance man spent ages sorting the remote. 11 out of 10!!

Cons:

The building and apartment are looking very tired. Furniture was also very basic and tired although adequate. Mattress on bed hard or worn out. Would like to have had cotton blanket supplied as air con could get chilly during the night.

Drop your bags, sleep and leave
Pros:

The location was excellent

Cons:

I’ve stayed here a few years ago, in a different room, hence booking again
The apartment was advertised as premium
The views were excellent
The apartment was very tired and could do with a good clean, and fix up the droopy curtains.
The bed was fair, but pillows were awful. Was disappointed there were no doonas, just dusty blankets in robe.
It was basically old and tired. A place to drop your bags, sleep and go out
Staff were very nice
Would I stay again, 🤔 NO

Good enough, some little things that irked me...
Pros:

Nice reception staff. Good location. Nice views from balcony. Comfy beds.

Cons:

Mold in room light fixtures. Someone's used soap bar in shower (with hair). Wadded up toilet paper stuck to bathroom wall. No water jug or free drinking water facilities (we were told to drink out of the bathroom tap).
