Karalee Holidays from NZ$955

Air freshener was with us the whole night. Rather strong to say the least. Other wise very convenient both for airport and riverside restaurants

Very clean, signs of wear and tear in bathroom, but otherwise very good.

No we went to Rise cafe 5 mins walk away and it was amazing

Good property and nice staff. I liked that the lap pool is marked as being for laps only. There were only two problems: 1) there was always at least 1 elevator (out of 3) out of service and one day there were 2 out of service. This can lead to long lines and even longer waits in a 42-storey buidling. Elevators should be fixed immediately! 2) The welcome message (only AFTER booking) warned that there "may be some noise". Well, there were jackhammers going full throttle at 3am on some nights. I would check on this before booking. Also despite getting VIP access on Expedia I didn't receive any of the perks (bottle of wine and free upgrade). There's not much policing of who goes in and out of the building, I could almost swear the room next to me contained at least ten people judging by the number of times they slammed the front door - I also saw six people enter there one night. More pressure on that one poor elevator!

The room had a strong odour. It was like walking into a wall of stence when you opened the front door. I think maybe an animal had pissed on the carpet and the cleaners had tried to remove the smell unsuccessfully. Other that that it was a lovely apartment.
