Spacious apartment. Would perhaps be better without the tiny balcony! Great location, check in/out easy. Parking great with lift access, would be good if you got a pass to go in and out rather than having to phone ahead for staff to let you in.
Megan from Geelong, Australia 10 June 2013
Hi Megan,
Thank you for your comments and good to hear you enjoyed your stay. The parking will be made much easier soon. Please bring your car to reception in Highlander lane when checking in and we will direct you around to the car park.

Came down for work. Exceeded my expectations. Renewed interest in Best Western. Guy at reception was so helpful and knew all the hot spots for good coffee, food and night life. Puppy in reception so cute. apartment was great just what we needed, so glad I didn't have to end up sharing a room with my brother! Looking forward to our visit in August

We found this to be a beautiful apartment, comfortable and well laid out. When required the staff were very helpful. The only criticism we had was that despite receiving clean towels each day on two occasions the used towels were left behind. We found this to be very odd. We had to finfd housekeeping to take the used towels away. Despite this criticism we would happily recommend these apartments.

lovely experience although not there very long, it was close to where we waned to go, very clean, very quite, only complaint being not enough milk sachets for 3 of us to have a couple of cuppas. I had stayed here last year with friends, this time I brought different friends back with me.

We where quite happy with the Riverside Apartments. The only thing that upset us bit, was on the day of our checkout we had gone for a walk and came back to our room to find the door of room ajar by the cleaning staff. We had not Checkout yet as it was only 10.00am and checkout was at 10.30am. So maybe you need inform the cleaning staff, not to start cleaning the rooms until people have checkout!

The view from the apartment is good. Service has been prompt when I called up reception. The only thing missing is the smile from the front office staff otherwise they have been very efficient in their service. Top up of soap & detergent should be done when doing daily room cleaning instead of waiting for guest to request.
Big vehicle should not be allowed to park in the carpark below. We had a horrible experience in which my hubby has to park in a lot which is not meant for parking and climbed out of the window all because of a big vehicle obstructing part of another lot.
Overall I like the service of the staff and the clean spacious room with a wonderful view. A big thank you to all of you for making our stay a wonderful one.

Great second time xeprience here; love the location and the feeling that it's a home away from home and not just a "hotel". However, I am not pleased that there is a charge for wifi; in 2013, this should be an included amenity especially when the apartments are not inexpensive to rent.

Given the reduced rate due to the life being inoperable, it made for an excellent experience as I was involved at a conference at the Crowne complex. Very convenient and comfortable.

Just stayed for one night but found the apartment comfortable and clean. Staff were understanding when I forgot to check out at the allocated time and I thank them for it. Just found that the shower soap and shampoo dispenser was out of action but am sure this would have been rectified if I had asked. Would definitely consider staying here again.
John from Melbourne, Australia 10 February 2013
Hi John,
Thank you for posting comments and I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us. The shampoo dispensers we have come to realise need fim 'palm action' to make them work efficiently. We will place signs in the bathroom to inform future guests.
