Stayed in a 1bedroom interconnected studio for a family of 4. This gave us a full-size kitchen, 2 bathrooms, in room laundry. Fantastic. Only fault was old tv’s that didn’t have Apps installed/capability so couldn’t watch a movie on demand.

I would recommend cleaning more thoroughly between guest. There was tissues under the side table on the floor that where not ours so im going to assume the floors were not vacuum from the last guest. We also needed to lift the couch when something dropped through it. This needs to be cleaned asap, there was old squeeze yogurts and other rubbish under it. I think overall a better clean needs to be done on surfaces and especially in the bathroom in-between guest staying.

We arrived to check in, the man working on the desk had no idea how to operate the eftpos. It took 40 minutes to check in. Then to be told our room was not ready. It was 3pm. Checkin was at 2pm. We were unable to check in to our room until 4pm and were late for our event.
