Glorious View
Pros:

Excellent location with a stunning view.

Cons:

We would have appreciated better coffee in the room, the shower head needs to be fixed and the TV wouldn't connect to any apps. We stayed in 1001.

Overall though, I would stay here again!
Pros:

Great location, great views, central to everything and the accommodation is high quality. Right on the beach overlooking the ocean and "The Strand" and lots of cafes, bars and restaurants within walking distance.

Cons:

The cleanliness of the room left a little to be desired. Previous occupant's hair everywhere and the floor of the room had clearly not been vacuumed at all well. The air conditioning motor outside on the balcony was very noisy frequently and the sliding door to the balcony did not close fully or properly meaning traffic and other noise could be heard clearly in the room. I think Reception's hours could be longer too. I was a little surprised they didn't have 24 hour reception when they say they have 24 hour check in.

A great value apartment in a great location.
Pros:

An easy check-in process on arrival and the apartment had an amazing view of the ocean. The apartments are located on the boardwalk and only 3 blocks walk to a Coles and other bars and restaurants.

Cons:

Apartment features were a little tired, but all was clean and functional.

The locations was great but the room needs a renovation and some improvement to make it more enjoyab
Pros:

Location was very convenient and the view from the room was great. Pool was good and the outdoor areas worked well.

Cons:

The room and facilities were very worn and appeared tired. The bathroom mirror was deteriorating, tiles discoloured and carpet worn out. The bed was extremely hard and was like sleeping on a concrete slab. The road noise was loud even with the balcony door closed!

Pros:

Location and view

Cons:

Reception man. Requested to keep room till 4pm and told with a scorn that I would have to pay a full night's charge.
We were with a huge football tournament and people in other hotels paid a fee from $20 - $50 for the same request on day of departure. Unfortunately, this will be my lasting memory of the hotel.
