So this property looks fantastic but there are some downsides.
Let's start with the positives. It is right across the road from the beach and on the outskirts of the CBD so it is convenient to walk everywhere and the facilities such as the pool are fantastic. It looks modern and refreshed from the outside and the lobby.
But that is where it stops. The courtyard view room is more like a view on some empty blocks, run down buildings and graffiti. The rooms are a good size but very dated with paint chips on the walls, doors that are scratched and damaged and the carpet just looks old.
But it gets worse, there is an air conditioner but it is in the loungeroom only and wasn't working very well so would not cook the room and there was no hope of getting any cool air to the bedroom due to it's positioning, whilst the bedroom did have a fan it was fighting an loosing battle against the air-conditioning unit that was blowing it's hot air against the glass door to the bedroom, meaning a cool nights sleep is not possible in this room.
To top it all off the smell in the hallway outside the lifts where the rubbish shoot was smelt like the demons of hell had escaped and were coming to get you.
A nice location but an old and tired hotel that is not worth the premium price
