DON’T DO IT! I would never book this facility again. There are ridiculous hoops to jump through if you intend to arrive after 4:30pm which they don’t tell you about until free you have booked making late arrival a complete pain. And, if you don’t follow the instructions, which they send via email, so you had better hope you get them, then you get fine $150. And that is providing you can even get someone to come and help. In my case, I arrived at 7pm after being out of service as I was camping, I then discover the property was closed, and I could not get anyone to come and help and so had to find alternative accomodation on top of being charge for the apartment i had booked, which i could not access. STAY AWAY AND BOOK LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE.

Response from Sarah on 19 Jan 2024
it is clearly informed on all sites our operation time and messages were sent to you with regards to late check in procedure which you have deliberately ignored. The property did not charge you 150 as you have mentioned and you are over exaggerating the information.As we cannot cater your requirements, it will be better that you find an alternative property next time.

Don't let the photos fool you, it's very old and dated. The showers near the pool don't work When asking for access to the gym I was told that all the fobs has been taken, seems weird that they either don't have enough for each room or they give multiple out to a room. Would I stay here again? Not at all
Response from Sarah on 9 Jan 2024
Pool area showers have been reported and now it is fixed. The property public area is not managed by us, therefore, we take actions for public areas if someone reported to us. Gym fobs are given as per request and maximum 5 at a time due to fire regulations to control number of person utilizing the gym. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

The customer service was terrible - due to booking on this app - we were apparently limited in the services offered. For example we couldn’t request clean towels! Additionally the service received from the staff regarding car parking for our 2 cars was incompetent! And one of our cars has a disabled cert (due to the driver being in a wheelchair ) and they were given an infringement for parking in the disabled parking!! Completely disappointing experience.

Thank you for your review. It is clearly stated that 1 car bay per apartment is allowed. You knew about this rule and parked the 2nd vehicle without a permit. We left a message on your vehicle to remove it within 12 hours (this is not an infringement notice). You were told that if you need to park the 2nd vehicle there will be a 15 fee (almost every property charge for all car parking permits with no free parking in Perth CBD- where we allow 1 car parking bay per apartment without charging).When you were asked to pay for the 2 vehicle (which was not the vehicle that was registered on the registration form you filled) you threatened us that you are going to post bad reviews unless you get a free car parking permit for the 2nd car.You booked for 6 members and was provided exact amount of towels. This is standard with all apartments properties now. Any extra towels will be charged accordingly as the property has to pay for additional laundry costs.Due to your dishonesty and threatening behavior in the property, we will not accept your bookings in the future.

Check in was not good. When we entered the room, the AC was making a loud noise and we were initially told to wait for a couple of hours. This was not acceptable to us and we insisted to do something about it. Finally they changed our room. It took around 1,5 hrs.

Response from Sarah on 18 Dec 2023
Thank you for your review. You advised the reception with regards to lounge AC unit making a loud noise then you were offered a room move. You requested to see the apartment prior to move and you were sent with a staff member to the apartment where you looked at balcony not A/C units and accepted it. You were in fact upgraded to a platinum apartment and the whole process took approximately 30minutes not one and half hours as you are over exaggerating. On next day one of your members who were sharing the apartment with you, advised us that she left her phone in previous apartment and our staff assisted her immediately. There are 3 A/C units (lounge, one A/c unit per room) in each apartment. Our property operates at 99% average occupancy due to value for money accommodation. As we cannot cater your requirements, it will be better that you find an alternative property next time.

Late check in must be pre arranged, used to be organised if you did not arrive by close of business. Take a $250 deposit which takes a week or more to go from pending to returned to your account. Swimming pool was renovated and new tiles make the indoor pool extremely noisy as noise echos. Tiles get wet and slippery. Pool was so cold could only stay in a short time.
