Jan 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Qld Pluses: great sized apartment. Looked better than its photos. The external grounds (pool area, garden area, tennis courts) are well maintained and look great. Location is good and close to tram. Friendly staff. Good price if you just want somewhereto crash. Cons: room was not ready when we arrived at 4.30pm, despite giving management 1 hr notice. Fob did not work for the elevator.Was nearly locked of room out as key did not work for the door (had to call security). Was issued a tow warning for our car despite talking with security the night before who assured us it would be fine. Aircon leaked consistently and did not work. Balcony door was jammed shut. Road noise from 20 stories up was quite audible.C ##### Claire S. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Natasha T.
