comfy, nice staff, nice view, I really loved the room.. the price!!

Laurie France

Upon arrival, Vineet (Melbourne Lodge Manager) upgraded my room to a bigger one out of the kindness of his heart. What a legend! :) The place is kept clean and warm, despite sub-zero temperatures outside, and I have found the housekeeping staff to be most friendly and responsive to my requests (change of towels, etc...)

I had such a glorious stay at Melbourne Lodge. Had to chance to visit multiple time but never fails to impress. It's kept spotless by a friendly and attentive staff. Rooms are cosy, functional and the proximity to town is just ideal.

Had a fabulous time staying there over the Easter weekend. Vineet and his team rolled out the red carpet for us, they work hard to keep the place immaculate and the customers happy! Will most certainly be back.
