SKD Suites

Reasonable 2 bed apartment, within waking distance of the CBD. Parking was provided inside the building. Instructions for entry, codes etc were sent by SMS. Apartment was on the older side but still quite comfortable. Good value for money.

Received a call the day before arriving to confirm booking. Reception was blunt and hung up before I could say goodbye. Walls had damage, holes from the door handles. Patches from previously being fixed, black marks and finger marks on the walls. Missing light fixtures and shower fixtures. Coat hangers and spare tiles left outside on the balcony. Carpet was clean but the damage makes the property less appealing. Neighbour was up all night playing board games on their balcony, right next to the main bedroom window. Property needs repairing and updating. Ok if you are on a strict budget.

I was given instructions to use the after hours check in even though reception was open and we were checking in at 2pm. That wouldn’t have been an issue but the directions they gave me did not mention which entry of the property to find the locked box and at the time I did not realise there were 2 entries; this led to a phone conversation where once again the communication was not clear and either the receptionist was unable to understand English overly well or did not know that there was the back entrance near the car park entry, which ever it was I ended up have to ask the maintainer people who happened to walk by if there was another enterance. Once we were in the unit it was a nice size and it was clean but there were no batteries that worked in any of the remotes so we were unable to turn on the aircon or tv. The pool was also inaccessible which I was unaware and this was disappointing as I had chosen the complex so the kids could go swimming.

Enjoyed our stay

Very convenient to places near the reason we were staying. Previous occupants towel hanging behind ensuite door, also an ointment tube just under bed.
