Oaks Glenelg Plaza Pier Suites

Oaks Glenelg Plaza Pier Suites

8/10 Good
"The floor was dirty with dust, hair and was clearly not vacuumed or mopped recently. The condition of the apartment was run down with scuff marks all over walls, tv that was a blue screen, cupboard doors falling off completely or wonky, signs of water damage on ceiling and on floor, furnuture that was warn with rips in the fabric. The apartment was spacious and had a lovely ocean view along with good quality block out curtains. Parking is difficult later at night when it becomes full. Pool, spa, sauna and gym were great."
