Nice clean property. Lots of food options nearby and the tram is just a couple of minutes walk away linking you to the city. Parking is connected and you can take the elevator up to your room. Staff is helpful. The 10am check out is a bit early compared to typical times but overall a good place to stay in Melbourne.

The check in was easy, but if you take your own car, finding a park to check in is tricky. Parking was easy and cheap. You have a tram stop right near the hotel, so really easy to get to St Kilda or the city. Is close to the the metro system, so will be easier to get around the city. Bed and pillows were so comfortable, lovely room.
