Anchorage Motel and Villas

8/10 Good
"We had a one bedroom superior apartment with jetted tub. Our stay was 4 nights The apartment was huge and was well equipped. The bathroom was great with the jetted tub. However the apartment was not the cleanest. There was a furnished balcony with huge sliding doors going out to it but the doors were filthy. The tables in the apartment were all clear glass topped and were not clean. Although the bed sheets were clean the doona cover had stains that obviously could not come out in the wash The fabric sofas were long past their due by date. Very soft and not clean. The location is very central with all shops in walking distance. Self parking included free. The other issue was although the apartment has wifi the signal in the bedroom is non existent. Finally this unit would be fantastic if was looked after property. An update to it would make if great."
