Disappointed

Very disappointed. On the 6th level 04. The dryer was in the living room area. The air conditioner was very loud and affected me sleeping. The vanity was cracked. The plumbing of the vanity was held together with duct tape. The front door open into the bedroom. The noise from the foyer of the lifts open and closing could be easily herd in bedroom when you were trying to sleep. There was an ocean view but most of the view was the carparks and air condition plants and rear fire escapes and of adjust buildings. There is much better value in new properties for the money paid. I have stayed here on many occassions over the 15 years and have had be allocated much better rooms.The location is fantastic.

Liked: Amenities
When we arrived we had to clean the room, floors were dirty and sticky, wash mould off the bathroom wall tiles and ceiling and the sofa was also broken. Once we cleaned and propped up the sofa our stay was great. Best views and position on the Esplanade. Stayed for 4 weeks and would stay again.

The property/unit smelled bad as soon as we entered. The Aircon smelled and did not work properly. The floors were dirty and blinds dirty. The spa bath didn't work. No fan as per listing. Will not stay again, which is a shame as good location.

Great but no wifi

The wifi was awful, connection kept dropping out and more often than not i had to connect to the free Telstra. I had to wash all the cups and dishes as they were greasy. Otherwise it was great. The view was amazing! The Esplanade and night markets were right outside. Loads of bars and restaurants just seconds away. We watched loads of birds flying past our balcony.
