The room I was given did not reflect the photos, I brought this up and was then told that the photos were old. I booked the Studio Bayview Balcony, but my balcony was facing into someone else’s bedroom while the photos showed the balcony facing the bay.
Room facing into someone else’s bedroom.

I consider myself pretty well travelled and I’ve never felt so unwelcome during the check-in process. No smile, no friendly greeting, nothing welcoming at all. The room keycards that were issued did not work and when I came right back down to get it fixed up there was not even a word of apology for the inconvenience. And to top all this off - the advertised $25 per day parking is ONE ENTRY AND EXIT PER DAY. And it is actually $30. So if you think you can come and go as you wish for that daily fee, well, you can’t. Never experienced that before. Room was average - balcony filthy with multiple cigarette butts, bath badly needed replacing/resurfacing, couch very tired…..

Fantastic views but the aircon was loud and check-in took a long time due to nobody being at the front desk. Lots of potential to be great but it's not quite there yet.
