  • Amenities5.0

    Amenity issues noted: broken/wobbly furniture, dirty rice cooker, no hair dryer, TV failures, no free parking and empty gas bottles affecting heating—amenities need maintenance or upgrade.

Curtains need extra hooks falling off windows, some of the surfaces are tired and in need of repair. Towels from previous people left in apartment. Salad bowl needs replacing and need more accessible plugs for kitchen appliances. Generally a bit shabby. But still a comfotable stay. .

The location was great, it made it easy to get around. The room itself was ok.

The location was great, it made it easy to get around. The room itself was ok.

When it rained the roof leaked over the lounge area for suitcases nr. TV. No-one around to tell. Thankfully we declined the $20 fee to park. The onsite parking was laughable. With a large car it was pretty close to impossible unless you took a tin opener with you. On the day of departure it took us 20mins to get the car out onto the road. That was from just pulling in to put suitcases in, no parking.

空間舒適、地點100分,附近有便利商店、許多餐廳選擇,走到湖邊不需2分鐘就到,太方便了! 房間臥室都有暖氣,很安靜、有效. 餐具、杯盤齊全、好用. 洗衣機剛開始幾天是故障的,但有派人來修過後就可以使用了,沒問題.

走廊上有人進出很吵雜,隔音不好. 床墊凹陷,睡的腰痛!

Great location and nice new bathrooms.

Cobwebs hanging from ceiling and light fixtures, burnt out lights in kitchen, very dirty/dusty shelves in bedroom closets. Window sills and blinds caked in dirt. Master bedroom headboard very dusty. Master Closet blocked by broken laundry rack.
