This property is very rundown and poorly maintained. The shower floor flooded each time we used the shower and the floor was also very slippery. Poor staff service - promised maintenance did not occur and promised additional linen was not delivered. Doors being opened and closed in nearby units was very loud - our doors stuck badly

Room was average. No housekeeping. Fire alarm went off twice in one night for no reason but no apology or compensation from staff. Pool area is clean but locals scaled the gates and were using it. Very convenient location.

Liked: Room comfort
The room it self was clean and tidy. However upon arriving there was musky smelling in the room. We turned off the air conditioner which appeared to be the main problem. After chatting with the desk they came up and changed the filter as we could see was quite dirty. We did not have the air for the remaining of our 3 days as, it still gave off the strong scent. I do hope further looking into the this concern is addressed as summer is approaching.

If i could upload the photos i took i would. $300 for one night? Massive cockroaches in my room, water was leaking at a rapid rate onto the TV table splashing all over the TV and all over the lamp light on the table next to it at such a rapid rate that i had to turn off the aircon There were fluid stains from a drink on my bed side table that hadn't been wiped down, there was someones underwear behind the bedside table and there were fleas in my bed. I am not happy that i had to pay $300 for this room. I have kept all of the photos of the above mentioned if you want to discuss this further.
