Nice place to stay. Convenient to where we wanted to be. I have stayed in hotels before, where. If you arrive early. The reception will do everything to get your room as soon as possible, then ring. But this wasn't the case. A bit disappointing. The restaurant within the hotel seemed to have an attitude issue!

Great location when going to Theatre. So many food options and easy walking to many attractions including Vic Markets. We stayed in a deluxe king room. Pretty small room but was very clean and bed was very comfortable. Like sleeping on a cloud. Bathroom was small and there was not much privacy with the toilet, which would be my only gripe. Loved the contactless check out. Will stay here again

Loved the hotel, breakfast buffet was exceptional! Would definitely stay again. However I wouldn’t use auto check booths for next time and would prefer to have staff advise on best choice of remaining room. I was allocated a corner room which was cramped in design and bathroom smelt overwhelmingly of mildew/mould. Lovely room otherwise and I still have enjoyed my day.
