Pros:

The view from the motel room was sensational and quite unexpected

Cons:

It is a little difficult to get the bags in and around the entrance. No biggy really, just a little pokey.

The location was great.

Cons:

The split system wasn't working, advised staff who sent a guy upto look and he confirmed it wasn't working but nothing was done to repair. We left a $200 deposit for miscellaneous required by hotel and gave no received back as promised after 10 days to 2 weeks.

Slightly adequte but also very disappointing
Pros:

Location was excellent. Partial view from balcony was good. Staff were prompt when we requested things.

Cons:

The actual apartment had broken slats in the window. A gaping hole in the flywire door. Kitchen bench needed replacing - lots of marks and holes in it. Bed was not very comfortable. Not a very good choice of pillows. Fridge started to leak all over the floor 4 days before we left. Broken tv remote. The workmen with their jack hammer in the apartment next to us which started 2-3 hrs before we checked out. I thought he was going to break through our wall any minute. The noise was that loud, we couldn't even talk to each other. I complained to the desk staff upon checking out but they didn't seem to care. Did not even apologise.

Functional & good location
Pros:

Location is great, being on the waterfront. Easy walking distance to beach, restaurants, cafes, etc. 3 towers in the complex but requires outside connection to rooms/facilities. Rooms were looking a bit old but were functional, decent size and had the relevant amenities.

Cons:

Bed was ok but not "comfortable" and weren't real quiet (could hear people above & beside us).
