“Could use some work but still good!”

Fantastic location, not directly in the thick of it but still close enough to the hustle and bustle to go for a nice walk on the esplanade into the restaurants and shops.

Fantastic location, not directly in the thick of it but still close enough to the hustle and bustle to go for a nice walk on the esplanade into the restaurants and shops. There are some areas that need improvement however. 1. The toilet in the main bathroom leaks water. 2. There is no housekeeping during your stay. We were there for over a week and no one came to restock essentials e.g toilet paper, garbage bags, washing detergent etc. or even vacuum the floors. I don’t recall seeing anywhere upon booking that this was the case. If I had I’d have known beforehand to buy some of the essentials and call the desk to request a vacuum as needed - rather than spend each day wondering if todays the day they’re coming to give us more garbage bags and do a quick vacuum. 3. Ants!! The kitchen was riddled with ants. If you left anything on the bench (food or not) for longer than a minute, it was at risk of being carried off by a colony of teeny tiny little ants. 4. The manager (male) randomly came into our room one day. He unlocked the door with his key, came in and asked if we called for room service/hotel manager. We said no and he kept insisting that we had. We again said we didn’t and he eventually went to leave; not before coming back in and again asking if we’d called him until he finally accepted that he must had misheard the room number and left. At first we thought it was an odd encounter, but as the day went on the more uncomfortable i felt with the situation. What if we had been out? What if we were sleeping? Or in the shower? Or god forbid doing the horizontal tango! He didn’t knock, he didn’t ask before entering, he just unlocked the door and came right in. He almost seemed shocked that we were there, on the couch. 5. The bathrooms have no exhaust fans and the en-suite window doesn’t open. 6. There was no plug provided for the bathtub. My husband had to MacGyver up a solution to prevent the water draining out while we bathed our son. 7. There is only 1 split system aircon in the entire unit, located in the living room and struggled to cool down the main bedroom, leaving our son sweating in his sleep all night. There are ceiling fans in the bedrooms but they’ve been adjusted so you can’t set them to ‘high’. I’d definitely consider staying here again, purely for the location and view alone. However knowing what I know now, I would be more prepared. BYO garbage bags, detergent, dishwashing tabs, toilet paper, bath plugs etc.
