Their communication needs to improve. Asked reception to send housekeeping in the morning, only to return and ask again. House keeping on the first day did nothing other than just making the bed. Property is excellent but the service not so much

It was a great property for a couple nights for me (solo traveler). They allowed me to drop off my bags at the property in the AM when I arrived before the unit was ready (securely behind front desk). Location was excellent for the Australian Open Tennis, walking to Crown Casino and enjoying all the great restaurants in the area. I was very happy with the value! Thanks for a great stay!
