It had several pluses. Having an eatery and bar on site was a plus. The lobby and eatery area were welcoming and convenient for newcomers as a retreat. It was easier to settle in and chill out after a long day. The kitchen allowed for the storage of food items but didn't allow for cooking beyond the hot plate level. The community events were good for encouraging social interaction among residents. More things like trivia night would be great. The bathroom and shower facilities were clean, but the space for toiletries while using them left much to be desired. The front desk was available and willing to help as long as they knew you were coming. If you have to check in late, LET THEM KNOW IN ADVANCE. Pay laundry services were easy through the front desk. Wifi was good in the building.
Negatives: This complaint appears in other reviews, but the pod system has inadequate ventilation and cooling. In the four pod rooms and the eight pod rooms in which I stayed, other residents had to ask for extra fans in the pod to deal with this issue. During times when there was a rush or a lot of patrons, the restaurant and bar were ill-equipped to handle the volume of guests.
Suggestions: If you have multiple electronics and need more than two NZ plugs, two USBs, and one C cable port, you might want to bring a charge port expander that works with your specific electronics from your country. If you plan to use the bathing facilities, be sure to bring your own towels otherwise, you pay.
