Stay was excellent, all spoiled by the Dinner incident at the restaurant.
Pros:

Breakfast was good. Took early for us, but we got takeaway.

Cons:

Dinner. The staff took our order for dinner, and informed us after 45 minutes that they has lost the order and we need to order again. We left.

Pros:

Apartment was comfortable and spacious. Breakfast complimentary.

Cons:

The change from a one bed to two bed configuration increased the rate by 50% and made it a rather expensive though necessary choice. As removalists we are not earning big mining dollars. Unfortunately we can't afford to come back again.
