The room set up was excellent : little kitchenette but big enough to be comfortable.

눉Key wasn't cut for our entire stay so we were stuck outside in the cold until someone could come and let us in with a master key and we were restricked to only our room. I had to leave a towel in my door to get back into my room after visiting a friends room. Beds were poorly made I don't know why they even bothered.

Disappointing

- • Stayed 3 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉We arrived back to our apartment on the Saturday night only to find our key/swipe cards didn't work. Leaving us locked outside in the freezing cold at 11pm at night for near an hour, until security came to let us in with a master key. This also meant we were restricted to our own individual rooms on different floors after that, as we could not regain access to our rooms without waiting for Security's help. No one had an answer for us as to why this happened, we were not offered any compensation or genuine apology. The girl at the desk even tried to pass the buck on some imaginary staffer from the previous day, even though it was herself who served us. At $250+ a night, it's simply not good enough. The room service (making of beds, fresh towels, etc.) was abysmal also. My 4yo son makes his bed 10x tidier in the morning. I don't know why they even bothered. Left a very sour taste on the trip away for us all.

눉Main criticism would be regarding room service. Bathroom basin edge had small stain of what looked like dried blood presumably from previous occupant. Empty tissue box was not replaced until I opened the container and left the empty box on the basin bench. A tea towel in the kitchenette would be welcome.
눇Good sized rooms. Free WiFi appreciated with reliable connectivity.

“Poor Housekeeping”
- • Couple

- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉I have just stayed at these apartments for 8 days my room was never cleaned in this time ..... I had to strip the bed and request clean sheets with a note left in the room and after speaking with reception ....... I had to chase hand towels, bath mats and face washer every day ....... The dust beside the fridge in th room would have been four inches thick !!!!? I have photos !!!!! As person that had been in hospital and recovering from a operation I should not have to deal with poor and disgusting housekeeping also considering the cost of the accommodation. We also had change sitting on the bench in our room in a glass for the washing machines which also went missing???? The glass was put back in the cupboard but no money ????? I will not stay here again and certainly would not recommend it to friends and family
눇The only good thing was it was next door to the hospital I needed to attend
