We had a really great stay. However, unfortunately, we left a jumper on the kitchen bench in our room. After we had driven out, we realised we had left it there. We called up, but reception said housekeeping stated there was no trace of it. This is disappointing as we know we left it there, and certainly has tarnished our experience. We would be unlikely to return as a result of this.

Great location, great service

Excellent and friendly service from start to finish. We were given an upgraded room and had an amazing view from our very comfortable suite. Excellent water pressure in the showers. Comfy beds. We enjoyed the breakfast, again with great service. Wonderful location, for both the views, and for getting picked up for tours. Highly recommend.

Loved our stay here with two bedroom riverview. We had a beautiful view of the city and river front, convenient location for great coffee shops, restauarants and shops. It is also next door to the immigration museum, which was an excellemt museum to visit and it is also a spot that tours pick up for the phillip island penguin tour, whoch was perfevt. My only regret is we should have stayed more than one night. The reception staff and bartender were also helpful and welcoming!
