Disappointed

Very disappointed. On the 6th level 04. The dryer was in the living room area. The air conditioner was very loud and affected me sleeping. The vanity was cracked. The plumbing of the vanity was held together with duct tape. The front door open into the bedroom. The noise from the foyer of the lifts open and closing could be easily herd in bedroom when you were trying to sleep. There was an ocean view but most of the view was the carparks and air condition plants and rear fire escapes and of adjust buildings. There is much better value in new properties for the money paid. I have stayed here on many occassions over the 15 years and have had be allocated much better rooms.The location is fantastic.
