Staff member on arrival was very helpful and had excellent customer service skills. Parking was simple and everything was easy to use. Room was a bit small but very clean and tide. The coffee shop at the front was good and the restaurant next door, Big Ma Ma's was amazing.

“Liked the visit to Melbourne but hotel was not that brilliant.”

눉The bedside lamp did not work which was report. There was too much furniture in the room. There was a leak which made our bathroom floor wet and when reported nobody seemed interested. Could not work the heating as it was cold. They took 100 dollars for damages which we thought excessive.

눉Unfortunately initial contact with Reception Staff was disconcerting. Mix up with rooms. Relocated. Construction going on . Not really suitable for older generation. Geared to University Students and probably younger age group. No view - overlooked car park and Buildings.
눇Room was adequate. Location was good. Close to main Tram line and Public Transport. Cleaning staff friendly and rooms kept to a high standard..

눉Room was tiny. Loud noises outside window early morning. Shower door did not shut properly. No sugar for coffee. No privacy with blinds up as surrounding buildings can see straight in. Toilet paper could be better quality for $110 per night. Bed needs blankets in winter.
눇The bed was super comfy.
