“Super bad check in experience ruined otherwise good stay”
When I checked in (it was 1:30 am) the front desk person INSISTED I leave my ID with them as a collateral for the room key. And I only needed the key because the code-lock was malfunctioning and they couldn’t fix it in time. Next day they couldn’t find my ID right away. It wasn’t securely stored. It’s a shame really as everything else was quite ok. But this experience made me feel like an illegal alien foreign prostitute whose I’d was taken away by the pimp to prevent her from fleeing.

“Nice apartment, great location.”
The apartment was very spacious with 2 large bedrooms. Bathrooms were decent and well stocked with towels etc. The kitchen seemed good with plenty of plates, utensils etc, but we didn’t do any cooking. The WiFi was also very good. The location is brilliant and within walking distance of most places, which helps after a few beers.

Great location and amenities for the price. It was clean and spacious. Having free parking in the private garage was also very handy. And we had a great view of the downtown skyline from our balcony.

“Huge comfortable apartment”
Huge apartment, very comfortable, facing away from the city view but for the money I wasn’t surprised. The pool was decent, parking easy to use and the reception area nicely decorated. There’s a bar on the roof with an amazing view that serves great cocktails.

“Beautiful apartment in perfect location”
Residential block in a great location, close enough to walk into the centre or good location for bus connections going to lots of different locations (day pass $2.50). Apartment on the 9th floor contained everything we needed kitchen with fridge, freezer, coffee machine, the bed was huge, TV which you can link to watch channels from an iPad or phone. The view was good over a lovely infinity pool (included) and a beach volleyball cafe. Bathroom was huge with a bath/shower inc basic toiletries and hairdryer. Walk in wardrobe included iron/board. Everything worked well. Receptionist in lovely reception area was helpful. One parking space included for free.
