Puik eenheid. Patetiese diens.

Hulle het my gevra hoe laat ons wil inboek tussen 2 nm en 6 nm. Ek het laat weet dat ons so net voor 6 nm daar sal wees. Die dame het vir my gesê sy is ongelukkig nie daai tyd beskikbaar nie, maar kan ons 7 nm help. Ek moes 'n laat check-in fooi betaal, omdat hulle my nie betyds kon help nie. Die parkering was ook probleem. Daar het gedurig ander voertuie op ons aangewyste parkering gestop. Die microchip om in die gebou te kom vanaf die parkering werk nie. Jy moet om die hele blok stap om by die voordeur in te gaan. Ek het 'n depostio betaal. Dit is nou 12 dae na check-out. Nog niks terug ontvang nie. Volgens hulle kan dit tot 15 dae neem om terug te betaal. Ek kry 'n gevoel dit gaan na 15 dae steeds nie gebeur het nie.

Great unit. Pathetic service.

They asked me what time we want to check in between 2 pm and 6 pm. I let it be known that we would be there just before 6 pm. The lady told me that she is unfortunately not available at that time, but can help us at 7 pm. I had to pay a late check-in fee because they couldn't help me in time. Parking was also a problem. There were constantly other vehicles stopping in our designated parking. The microchip to enter the building from the parking lot does not work. You have to walk around the whole block to get in the front door. I paid a depostio. It is now 12 days after check-out. Haven't received anything back yet. According to them, it can take up to 15 days to refund. I get a feeling it still hasn't happened after 15 days.

New Cumberland 501 's response

Good afternoon Louis,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I have investigated your complaints raised and would like to bring the following to your attention.

In response to the check-in: I spoke with Cherise, whom checked you in. I am not able to attach the WhatsApp conversation, voicenotes or the call logs, I can send this through to you privately if you require this. Cherise got in touch with you regarding the check-in procedures and advised you that the check-in times (as stated in our correspondence) are on a first-come-first-serve basis and we stress that guests always book in advance as we are not based at the properties and manage many apartments. On 26 May 2023 at 09:06am she advised she can check you in at 19:00pm and explained the first-come-first-serve and that she will be in touch with you and let you know if she can meet you earlier. At 09:07am you responded saying "100%. Lets keep it at 19h00 then." She then went on to advise you on the late check-in fee that will be payable, you did not respond. At 16:25pm as promised she let you know that she was able to check you in earlier and you would then avoid the late check-in fee. She made a plan to move her day around to assist you. She proceeded to call you twice at 16:25pm and again at 17:05pm. You did not respond or answer the calls. Then at 17:07pm she sent a follow up message asking if you will rather be checking in at 19:00pm and to remember that there will be a late check-in fee payable. At 17:10pm you sent her a voice note saying to rather leave the check-in for 19:00 and to please send through the invoice for the late check-in fee and you thanked her for all her efforts. I do not think your review of this is fair bringing the above conversation you had with Cherise to light, I feel Cherise went over and above and kept her word to you.

In response to the tag and parking: I cannot seem to find any correspondence or ticket opened bringing the tag and parking issue to our attention, where we could have resolved this for you and replaced your tag, and had security ask the vehicles blocking your bay to move or even go as far as clamping them to ensure they do not park incorrectly again. I have requested further feedback on this but thus far no one has advised that you made any contact with us to attend to this for you. We won't know unless a guest comes to us with an issue and I do apologise for this inconvenience, please let me know who you spoke to so I can take this matter further.

In response to the security deposit: Yes, you are correct the refund of security deposits can take up to 15 days to be refunded. This is due to various reasons. The main two reasons are banking details required from guests, or guest damages. I have had a look at your outgoing inspection and there was unfortunately guest damages (missing bath mat) that we needed to attend to and investigate further, the investigation has been finalised and the balance of your refund was sent through for payment.

Please do contact me should you have anything further you would like to discuss and I do hope this clears up everything and we do hope that we can welcome you back again.

Kind regards,
Jessica

Dit was fantasties, die uitsig is finominaal, jy kan nie beter kry nie.

Eenheid is smaakvol gemeubileer. Jy kan nie vir 'n beter uitsig vra nie. Ons sal enig tyd weer teruggaan en is hoogs aan te beveel.

Fabulous - check-in is a bit laborious.

Fantastic spot to stay, location is brilliant. Only negative would be the extremely squeaky, slippery floors- not advised for elderly or anyone with injury.

Good day Cathrine.
We are really glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for pointing the floors out as we will be sure to look into the slippery side of that for sure. That is one thing about laminated wood flooring, they tent to be a bit noisy.
Other than that, glad you enjoyed it and hope to see you again some day soon.
Regards
