Another great stay. Beds comfy, room clean, good sized bathroom, bigger than usual fridge in room. Quick checkin and checkout. Friendly staff. Carparking attached to hotel run by another company is a bit pricy but still convenient.

Great location
Great location. The pool was shut which was not advertised on HOTELS.COM when I booked it which is infuriating as we only choose places with pools as I have a child and he loves it. Lifts were being worked on so had to use back lifts. Bit annoying. Should all be highlighted before booking is locked in. The hotel itself was good and in a fantastic location.

Staff were excellent and my room clean and comfortable. Unfortunately the elevators are being replaced/refurbished so a bit of a maze to get to my room but signage was clear.

Good for the money. It was towards the “budget” end so had no expectations on a luxury stay. Room was clean and comfortable. Currently the lifts are under refurbishment so it was a bit of a hike and a muck around. Service was good. Location wise it’s only a short walk to the heart of Melbourne. Street noise was disruptive over night but that’s to be expected when our room faced Lonsdale St. All in all a decent option for the price.

If I was made aware of the lift renovation and the journey to our room I would have requested a odd number floor. Staff were awesome and the room was ok.
