The shared facilities were maintained well (pool, hikes, restaurant) but our room was dirty. They didn't give us a quilt cover and the quilt had stains all over it, the bathroom had mold, the toilet was about to fall apart and there was no ventilation for the bathroom, so I had to leave the door open all day to vent it out. Looks like the room hasn't been updated in over 20 years.

Location is great. Room preparation is lacking. First morning shower did not work, seemingly no water. Bath water ran ok next morning shower worked ok suggesting that running the water should be part of room preparation. Checking the number of tissues in the box should be included too. Food was basic and missing the final touches.

The expensive apartments are spotted throughout the property giving individual views so if you are luck you may get one with bush views . Our room had comfy heating/cooling and a reasonable amount of room to move. However. What lets the room down is having the fridge inside a 2 door cupboard that requires both doors to be opened to access the fridge and it only has a small freezer section. The carpeted rooms is an old style carpet that has obviously been wet . While there was no odour it was loose and rolled up in spots. The bathroom tiles had a large area showing signs that the room may have been subject to flooding from outside. And that would explain the carpet also. They need replacing.
