Lovely, very comfortable, staff were great.
Pros:

Rooms were fantastic, love the apartment had a seperate toilet.
For me laundry facilities were excellent after being on the road to do some washing was great.

Cons:

Only a few very minor issues. Corners around bath need a small amount of mould removed.

Spacious and tidy, great location.
Pros:

These units are well located close to the town/pools and in a quiet location.
The room we had was very spacious!
Beds were comfortable and shower had good pressure.
They provided towels for the pools which was very helpful.

Cons:

The room had a shower over spa bath, the bath base was uneven so was a bit of a slip risk.
They said the rooms were serviced daily but they didn’t remove our recycling or top up the toilet paper which I would have thought would be a minimum even if the beds weren’t remade.
There are blue lights on the deck all night which you can’t control but with a slat blind over that window it is still quite visible in the room.

Pros:

Very nice place.

Cons:

Seemed to be a problem with the heating that we reported. The beds had electric blankets so overnight wasn’t a problem.

Would stay again.
Pros:

Great location, short walk to restaurants, pools, walking track etc.
Nice large 2 bedroom unit, with full kitchen (although we didn't cook there).
Good to have extra towels to take to the Hot Pools. And an extra key was no issue.
Anyone staying here needs to dine at MK - OMG it is amazing!!! A short walk into town. What an amazing experience, and very reasonably priced, "Trust the Chef".

Cons:

Stair well area needs a clean. Needed the key to turn power on, so couldn't leave dishwasher or washing machine going when we went out. Minor things.

Overall I enjoyed my stay
Pros:

I liked how convenient the location of the hotel was to the main town and hot pools. Rooms were very big and comfy.

Cons:

Only thing was that the rooms were slightly outdated and needed some TLC. For example, some of the blinds were broken and the tap in the sink was loose and wobbly
