Girl on the front desk locked the door between me giving my credit card details and fetching my luggage from the car, so I was unable to get back in. She said she locked the door because she was "sick of people coming through the door with enquiries, and interrupting her". I thought that was the job of someone employed on reception?
My room wasn't serviced, despite it being called Quest Serviced Apartments. This was a major problem as I returned to my room at 7pm having piled the used laundry in the shower as instructed, and it was still sitting there damp when I got back. Same with my rubbish bin full of rubbish.
Presentation of the room was average, although it needs a new coat of paint and things like drawers and doors tidied up. TV was great, and the lighting was excellent.
On checkout I raised these issues with the girl on the desk, who called me "hun", and passed them off as minor instances. I wrote separately to the manager of the building, who responded appropriately and apologised for the poor customer service.
I'd stay here again on the basis of the manager's response and if they tidied it up a bit, but my overall impression was that it wasn't quite as professional as it should have been.
Room Tip: Rooms looking over Hunter St have windows which can open, which is great for getting some fresh air...
