  • Disliked: Amenities

The location was pretty handy and the pricing was OK for a last minute one night stay, but this place is showing a lot of wear and tear. We had a 2 bedroom, with 2 adults and 2 children. The space was a reasonable size but the King bed was almost un-sleepable - VERY hard. There was a pretty strong musty smell throughout, I suspect leaking in the bathroom and fan didnt seem to work. Also, amenities not quite as advertised - the TV was missing any pay channels promised. At least it was just one night.

    • Liked: Room comfort
    • Disliked: Cleanliness
    Logement manquant d'entretien.

    Beds were comfortables. Location is ok if ready to walk between 10-20 minutes to get to main attractions and get skybus or explorer bus. We were expecting a balcony and a dryer in our room, but there was not. The room was a bit smelly, but we could open windows. No ventilation in our bathroom. Lack of maintenance day to day. Ratings could quickly fall under 7.
