Would not recommend misinformation was given not clean at all definitely not value for money communication not easy to g
Pros:

Only good thing was the location

Cons:

I didn’t like the fact that the house keeping was poor walked in crumbs over the floor and couch hair in the bathroom. Also there for two nights and towels were not replaced absolutely disgusting. Seen no staff or cleaners for the few days we were there.

We got locked out of our apartment and hour before check out. Our luggage got locked in there we went to reception thinking that it would be open as it says on information given on arrival and on the front door open 7 days 9am to 5pm. Well it certainly was not we called the after hours line and it went straight to voice mail. Lucky enough for us after and 1 and half hours of standing out the front waiting one of the neighbours came out and was able to give us a number of a manger. After calling and going straight to voice mail again I sent a very unhappy message and instantly got a phone calling kissing ass and saying someone was on there way to let us in.

There was no staff. And our son had lock his bedroom door from the inside and lock everyone out and we could not access the room to put him to bed we tried reception on the Saturday morning understandable it was Anzac Day so no staff we let him sleep on the couch that night hoping to talk to someone Sunday morning to find no staff on and after hours phone number no one would answer the out room keys deactivated before 9am and we couldn’t get back into our room. Lucky my wife was still in side and I could ring her to let me in.

Pros:

It was close to where we needed to be and it was only across the road from coles and kmart.

Cons:

When you get there you have to pay a $200 deposit on top of the room charge and they said it could take up to 30days to be returned back to your account it isn't an instant refund when you check out. There is a list of extra charges given to you when you check in if you don't do this and that. You have to remove all your own rubbish after your stay including the sanitary bin and keep the room spotless or there is extra charges which is difficult if you have children. The mattress is had was very firm and you could feel the springs. The walls also had massive cracks.
