Liked: Cleanliness
Apartment was in a good location. Close to Lygon Street restaurants. I did require parking and and while the hotel description said there was off site parking nearby for $20 per night, the check in staff could not tell me where that was. I was left to find a park myself, which ended up costing $50 overnight. So although the accommodation was slightly cheaper than near by hotels, the fact the parking cost so much, it would've worked out better to stay at one of the more expensive hotels, that had on site parking for $20 - $30. I had planned on watching the football on TV, however the TVs do not have regular TV antenna connection. Only limited streamable content, which did not include the live tv channel apps. Shower setup was weird, with the door opening inwards and covering the taps, making it impossible to turn the water on from out of the shower to get temperature right, before stepping in, so the risk of burning yourself is very real. Water also leaked out through the shower door, making the floor very wet and slippery once you step out. Pretty low quality, flimsy towel supplied for drying yourself also. Room was clean though and fairly comfortable, although the bed was a little firm for my liking.

Dishwasher was full of mouldy water. Shower was discussingly dirty Toilet was dirty, there was also no toilet paper in the bathroom or studo. There were used bags of something in the bathroom cupboard. One of the beds was broken. All the lamps were misding the light globes Windows in the room wouldnt close. Was book for 5 people to stay, only supplied 2 pilows. This was all reported to the staff on the night and the next morning. Asked to speak with a manger, was told they would call, never recived call. This place is no fit for people to stay in. Extremely disappointed in yhe rooms condition.
