Wonderful

1.The parking issues when leaving the property for the day were an issue- needs to have something so you dont need to validate your ticket with reception each time you leave, especially when you have paid in advance.
2. No dropbox or anything to leave your room keys if leaving early.
3.Sundays are especially an issue as reception does not open till after 9am.....so validating you parking ticket is a problem if wanting to leave early. This needs to be advised prior or a new system for patrons staying with vehicles.
The cafe was great and staff very polite efficient and friendly.
Room was much smaller than advertised, no cleaning service during our entire stay and the room smelt of sewerage with very little ventilation. Had to open the door to the room to ventilate. Exit of carpark is very difficult with a very sharp 90 degree turn required to exit the carpark requiring you to turn wide which means navigating/blocking cars entering the carpark!
I liked the convenience of the location of the Essence Suites. Our suite was well furnished with good facilities. The only thing I was not happy with was the constant whirring of the bathroom extractor fan. Is there not a way of switching it off and on as required?
Had a wonderful stay, staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms had great views and it was nice to have a microwave, kettle and fridge. The cafe had amazing coffee and food.
Awesome stay, I gave it an excellent rating, for that I don’t feel picky pointing out these issues. Apartment window sounded like birds were flying into it throughout the stay and National Geographic Chanel was not working.
Very conveniently located for transport links, quiet area within walking of a selection of shops (supermarket etc).
Comfortable room with great city views and very helpful and welcoming front of house staff.
