    convenient location
    poor cleanliness
    neglected maintenance

    The convenient location is a highlight when visiting.

    The cleanliness of the apartment was concerning. the windows had noticeable mould, and the kitchen floors were sticky. there were several signs of neglect, including stains on coffee mugs and an unkempt exterior with leaves and rubbish scattered around. I really expected better maintenance considering the ratings, which was a major disappointment.

    sticky floor

    Sticky kitchen floors that need serious attention, strong fish smell upon arrival, and bed linen that hadn’t been changed. Mould on window sills and stained coffee mugs is unacceptable for a motel boasting cleanliness.

    cleanliness issues

    The manager went out of his way to ensure our room was warm and comfortable upon our arrival, which was a lovely touch.

    The cleanliness of the room was concerning, with black mould on the window sills and stained coffee mugs indicating a need for deeper cleaning.

    spacious room
    friendly staff
    great kitchen amenities
    shower curtain issue
    firm bed

    the two-bedroom apartment was super spacious and clean, very comfy for my family. kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. staff were super friendly and really helpful with directions to local shops. location was awesome, just a short walk to nearby parks and shops. we loved the warm welcome and extra touches like breakfast delivered the night before!

    the shower curtain was too short so there was water on the floor, and the bed was a bit too firm for me.

    cleanliness issues
    worn bathroom
    sticky floor

    The two-bedroom apartment offered ample space for our family, and the well-equipped kitchen made meal preparation convenient. The location was great for accessing nearby amenities and attractions, including a lovely walk to Hagley Park. certain areas like the kitchen floor needed more attention, and the overall cleanliness could be improved, particularly with some signs of wear in the bathroom.

    Spacious and cozy stay!

    Really enjoyed my time here! The staff were super nice and even helped me with directions. The room was spacious with a full kitchen, perfect for cooking up some meals. Loved the in-room breakfast option, but I wish the pillows were a bit thicker. a comfy place to relax after a long day.

    spacious apartment
    attentive hostess
    unhygienic kitchen

    a good stay but needed more cleanliness

    The studio apartment was perfectly equipped for our needs, offering spacious comfort. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to Hagley Park's beautiful gardens. The hostess was charming and very attentive. I appreciated the ample breakfast, which was a nice start to the day. During my stay, I found the two-bedroom apartment comfortable and well-suited for family gatherings, providing ample space to relax and enjoy together.

    however, the cleanliness of the kitchen floor was concerning and could use serious attention.
