OK but needs to be check following renovation
Pros:

The bed

Cons:

There are quite a few issues with the renovations that need to be fixed. I have itemised these directly to the hotel for them to rectify. I hope they do.
Kitchen tap - needs to be tightened - it is very loose. The shower leaks and pools water all over the bathroom floor. There is no GPO powerpoint near the office desk - instead they provided a long lead and powerboard - OHS issues. Broken tile near fridge. another powerpoint needed in the kitchen considering there is a router that needs to be power always.

Pros:

Staff were very responsive, beds super comfy, location great and apartment clean. We would come again. Carpark is tight and you can get it cheaper 90m down the road at Wilson's if money is an issue.

Cons:

Be nice to have tissues and somewhere to put your clothes in the second bedroom

Would recommend and would stay again!
Pros:

Very comfortable HUGE beds, lounge chairs also comfortable and kitchen well prepared too. Very spacious apartment. Key Code for entry was great rather than a physical card. We also really liked the bathroom soaps etc.

Cons:

Very minor remark, split system perhaps wasn’t big enough to heat the whole apartment and the shower / bath wasn’t the easiest to get in and out of.
