Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
The room was smallish but reasonably comfortable. It would have been much better if the storage had been adequate. The 2-sectioned wardrobe had one usable section. The other section had the fridge and beverage items. Access to the car park was rather convoluted and involved navigating stairs. There are plenty of eating options around, and the St Kilda pier was closeby.

The bed was very comfortable, and the shower was excellent. The location was convenient. Unfortunately, the room itself was disappointing — the blinds were broken, the curtains had come off their railings, and the walls were not clean. It was also extremely noisy throughout the night, with people yelling and swearing on the street, making it difficult to sleep.
