Disliked: Staff & service

3/5 Okay

Travelled with partner
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was spacious but showing its age as was the outside of the property. The parking is nose to kerb on the street but directly outside ground floor rooms. The street is a narrow cul de sac so getting in and out of the parking space can be difficult. The location is handy to Glenelg and the tram. For the price I would expect daily housekeeping.

2/5 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Overpriced and Understaffed
Taft send an SMS to your phone with your room number and code for the door which is brilliant. My room was not what I had ordered as on 1 bed in it instead of 2. Staying by myself this was not a problem but I would think you should get what you pay for. No reception has its disadvantages as I wanted to know can I use the BBQ (answer is no) and the Airconditioner stopped working and you have to ring someone to get answers. Luckily I had a few ideas to fix Aircon otherwise I would have been left without for the week in 41 Degree days. The place is old and very noisey you can hear people walking the balcony at 3am or cars driving past at 5am onwards so if sleep is your thing I would not suggest here as a place to stay. I understand that bed sheets and towels aren’t changed but I would have thought coffee, milk and soaps might be and no tissues at all in the rooms. Great location but needs some serious work/help to be asking the price it does.
