Pros:

The apartments are a good size but are in need of a refresh. Nothing really bad to say about them but equally nothing stood out as a nice surprise. Functional and reasonably well located this place suits the traveler passing through rather than a holiday maker.

Cons:

Ageing facilities, in need of maintenance and refresh..

Good and met expectations! Friendly staff :)Maybe a bit far from CBD but walkable in 10-15 minutes.
Pros:

The staff were so helpful, friendly and were very accommodating. SO lovely!
The pool area is nice and the beds very comfortable. It has everything you need, including washing machine :)

Cons:

I feel the whole place can have a bit of TLC. A lick of paint and a good thorough clean in those places not 'standard' would go a long way!
