Hotel was clean, great location, kinda pricey for the shoebox size room. But place was clean, staff very friendly, especially cleaning staff for rooms. Bar and Restaurant in foyer called "Stubby's" was convenient very friendly staff, great chef, great food well priced, children friendly awesome! Only bad point was the size of the shower/bathroom/toilet arra and the terrible sliding door on the bathroom, that offered no privacy from family members. Also TV did not work and i couldnt even mirror my phone screen as it wasnt a smart TV. CMON GUYS!

They claim to have parking, but this is a paid parking lot off site. It is provided at a discounted rate, and not 'just 5 minutes walk' from the hotel. It took about 10 minutes, with my bag and constantly having to stop at Red lights to cross the road.

It was a delightful stay, I'll be sure to come back here if I'm ever in Melbourne again! The only minor facility aspects I'm referencing in that 4 star component were our sink (which had too high of water pressure and splashed everywhere), the broken washer machine, and the elevator wouldn’t open the door at the 3rd floor sometimes. However, they all had workarounds, so it wasn't big deal, and I had a wonderful stay!

I liked the whole experience. The opaque sliding bathroom door was a little intimidating though. Nothing like having a grandma, a son and a grandson all in the same room. 😂. Still it was a good room with good service. I would stay again but ask for a blanket to cover the bathroom door.
