Unhappy with the staff ability to help sort out problems. Concerned with glass railings and gaps. Lifts tap not cleaned or replaced during covid. Fire alarm went of in room due to cooking no one checked. Dryer not working correctly

The property was cheap, some would say we got what we paid for, however there was 2 tiny ziplock bags obviously used for drugs on our balcony, makeup on the wall behind the couch, no smartcard for the foxtel, let alone batteries in the remote. And on top of that they never mentioned there was a cibstruction site rufht out the front of our room that went from our time of check in friday evening all the way through the night until 9.30 saturday night. And parking was a rip off. Much cheaper to use the securepark around the corner. Also a manky smell on the floor smelt as soon as you exit the elevator. Other then that the linen was clean and kitchen and bathroom were satisfactory, pillows were most uncomfortable. Bathroom has mould in the grout and soap scum. Oh and no view. So my opinion is to spend the extra money and stay somehwere nicer.
