Terrible. We actually wondered if this has been used for cooking P. Had a very distinctive, sour chemical smell and we had bad headaches. Place felt like it needed a very good clean, and was very shabby and tired. Good sized rooms and well located. The pool wasn't really useable - apparently they tried to limit numbers so you had to ask permission to use it - but it looked filthy so we avoided it. Not a great place to stay as a family and wouldn't recommend it to women travelling alone. Wondered if it was being used for emergency housing. Expensive and wouldn't stay here again.

First time we've EVER booked in, unpacked car then left!! Unit 16, two bedroom unit, cheap at $120 night but no thanks!! It was freezing cold with every window open even though it was raining, toilet bowl was so stained, shower was filthy, TV unit super dusty, the leather couch was filled with dust in the creases etc! Should have trusted my gut when booking as that was super painful. I know English isn't the ladies first language but when I was asking the price she kept giving me my phone number!! Plus kept getting night we were staying wrong etc. Super weird.
