The good:
* Location. It's close to takeaway shops, restaurants, the promenade and a pub. It's also only a 10-15 minute walk to the closest supermarket, the beach, and the ocean pools. Unbeatable location.
* Secure parking. Parking on level 3 of the building is for Nesuto guests and residents only, and is accessible only with the key fob from reception.
* Comfortable. Because the building is split between hotel guests and residents, there's a homey comfort thing happening.
* Wi-Fi. The nerd in me ran a speed test while I was there, and it's good enough to stream shows etc.
However:
* The bathroom of the apartment I stayed in (413) had no active ventilation fan in the bathroom. The bathroom does get foggy, and the floor does get wet. Along with the lack of ventilation comes mould, and it was possible to see traces of mould around the bathroom.
* The air con doesn't work to cool the bedroom, which meant that I had to sleep with the door open to the outside world. This wasn't a problem, but using the pedestal fan (provided in the wardrobes) to provide a breeze was. The pedestal fans in both bedrooms were dusty, and one was broken. I had to clean them before they could be used.
Overall, it's a place that screams "good enough" to stay in. It's not a five star hotel, and it's not a dingy rent by the hour motel. It's a little old, and could use some paint, but if you're spending your time exploring the beach and the local area, it'll do.
