Inn on the Park Apartments

We needed space for 4 people and some room to prepare a couple of meals over our 4 day stay and this fit the bill at a reasonable price. Car parking was included which was good. The furniture is a bit rough around the edges, it could do with a revamp (the screen door was off its tracked, we fixed it for you!) but nothing too bad, room was clean and we appreciated early check in after an early flight. Go out the door, turn left and then right , walk for about 100 m and you are at the ferry terminal for the delightful ride into the city. The pub down the road is good for breakfast or lunch and there's a big shopping centre a couple of minutes drive or about 12 minutes walk just down the road. Only quirk, every time we turned on the air-conditioning, the tv turned on as well -the remote seemed to work both appliances! View over the river was delightful

Stayed in unit 310 (one bedroom apt) on 22-24 November. The utensils and crockery were not properly cleaned. Found one pot completely unwashed in the kitchen cabinet. The frying pan coating was all scratched out and definitely not safe to use. The toilet had a faint urine odour. The water pressure was very low making showering difficult. The washing machine did not work as somehow the water inlet was not functioning. It is in a good location, but sadly, the place was not well maintained, be it the kitchen or the furniture. The balcony railing had dripping water as there were 2 draining pipes overhead that dripped/drained water from elsewhere.

We booked this apartment as it was close to where we needed to be for 9 days. Unfortunately it is terribly outdated in furniture and fittings but worse was the state of hygiene in the bathroom and laundry. The horrific smell coming out of all drains clearly shows how often and how well they are cleaned. We purchased drain cleaner and antiseptic and did as much as we could ourselves to get to a base acceptable level. We could not do anything about the peeling paint in the bathroom but hard surfaces were cleaned. Today is day four and we have yet to have the room cleaned. There are no appliances, brooms or mops to do the clean ourselves. Surprisingly the apartments have a no refund policy (sic). We would strongly suggest that alternate apartments be considered prior to this one. Cost is over $200 per night after discounts.

Have stayed here a number of times over the last 10 years. Some apartments are ok. Others not so. They clearly have individual owners. Apartment 607 looks to have not been renovated for 30 years and It raises many questions. Why is the light fitting missing from the lounge area? To show off the incandescent bulb? What artwork once adorned the second bedroom wall which now displays a number of holes. Was there a TV in the main bedroom where there are now holes in the wall? Why is there no compendium? Why has the leaking shower fitting not been replaced in the main bathroom? Why is there only a 3 seater lounge chair in a double bedroom apartment that accommodates four people? The management are good and gave us this room because we didn’t want to be too close to the noisy main road. Maybe we should have just bought some earplugs. They came to fix the tv that didn’t work on the first day because of a loose plug, extension lead or power board. Second day we had to completely power it off then on again to get it going. While some apartments are probably fine, the dedicated underground parking space seems to be the main attraction here.

Lovely views but the place lacked cleanliness and hygiene. The floors were especially dirty particularly in the toilet and bathroom. The toilet was smelly and door had to be closed to stop smell! The balcony was filthy with cobwebs. The shower was very difficult to operate
