What a view!
The location and view of the river and all the happenings was excellent. Ask for a view room! Bed comfortable and even though the tram is right outside, we had no trouble sleeping. Double pane windows help for sure. One elevator was out so had to use the service elevator. Nice pool but no towels at pool. Washer/Dryer in unit, but no soap and not sure if front desk sells it. Clean, comfortable room. Staff in cafe and front desk were all very nice.

Basic
Was very big room with a strange layout and the bed was very firm. Reception was empty a lot of the time and house keeping service was poor. Check in was lovely.

Fantastic stay at the hotel, staff were welcoming and attentive. The restaurant is great value. Appreciate the easy connection to public transport.
The only negative was the extremely poor wifi connection in the room very slow and constantly dropping out. I was only using it for emails and socials. Eventually they replaced the modem and then another. Slight improvement but definitely not what one expects. I ended up having to hotspot my phone to get work done. This needs to be addressed and while staff were sympathetic I really don’t think they understood the frustration thus caused (one person suggested I must be steaming videos).

Onsite parking made it alot easier with deciding on choosing to stay here, might of been $30 a night but it was secure so i was happy to pay it, room was clean and the pool on level 5 was slightly heated which was great, just wish it was deeper in some parts of it, overall if i end up back in melbourne again i reckon i'll stay here again
