Pros:

The view was great and bed was comfortable.

Cons:

The pillows on the couch were stained from previous people staying which gave the place a little bit of a dirty vibe but overall was still clean and nice

Great apartment in perfect location
Pros:

Wow, what a great place to stay!
All I wanted was somewhere I could see the water and this apartment delivered with views from every window.
The apartment is spacious and had everything you need including a separate toilet. The bed is was super comfortable and the shower has great water pressure.
Walls between apartments seemed soundproofed. The only noise we could hear music was from the bars on Saturday night.
Oh did I mention there underfoot heating, what a luxury!
Basement parking would’ve been a bit tight for our big 4x4 but luckily there weren’t many cars so manoeuvring around the columns didn’t take a 50 point turn!
I would stay here again, the apartment was fabulous and the location couldn’t have been better.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Great Location. Good parking.

Cons:

Stayed here last month and no improvement. For this price we expect more including plunger coffee and herbal teas. We had a heater that was beaten up that looked like it had come from a set of Once were warriors rather than an upmarket hotel. We would have expected apartments to have been serviced for the price.

Pros:

Location great across from playground. Clean room. Lovely staff.

Cons:

Lift was a little hard to access through multiple swinging doors with toddler and bags from carpark. But this was a minor annoyance.
