Location is located right along the Route 59 Tram Line making it quite easy to travel to both Downtown Melbourne and the airport. It is also walking distance to convince stores and a shopping plaza. Staff was very friendly and thorough at check-in. The room was cute, clean, & updated. No issues or commotions caused by other guests.

Christmas stay

We stayed for five nights and we're supposed to get daily room service as it stated on the booking. We never had our sheets changed or towels we had to ask front deck for Soom more towels. I asked when are we going to have our home serviced and was told it's a holiday boxing day but I paid more for Christmas day and boxing day and didn't get what we had paid for. So feel ripped of
