They claim to have parking, but this is a paid parking lot off site. It is provided at a discounted rate, and not 'just 5 minutes walk' from the hotel. It took about 10 minutes, with my bag and constantly having to stop at Red lights to cross the road.

It was a delightful stay, I'll be sure to come back here if I'm ever in Melbourne again! The only minor facility aspects I'm referencing in that 4 star component were our sink (which had too high of water pressure and splashed everywhere), the broken washer machine, and the elevator wouldn’t open the door at the 3rd floor sometimes. However, they all had workarounds, so it wasn't big deal, and I had a wonderful stay!

I liked the whole experience. The opaque sliding bathroom door was a little intimidating though. Nothing like having a grandma, a son and a grandson all in the same room. 😂. Still it was a good room with good service. I would stay again but ask for a blanket to cover the bathroom door.

When we arrived, we parked at the nominated parking facility and walked over to the hotel. When we checked in, there was a member of the public, no shoes and looking very shady. Did make us feel uneasy considering I had to leave my teenager daughter there on her own. There was no peak hole in the door to see who was on the other side, so you would have to open the door to see who was knocking. Felt that any member of the public could walk in and go up to any floor. The windows in the foyer area on level 1 were wide open and the floor smelt like someone was smoking. When we left in the morning, I had our parking validated, which cost me $25 but when I got to the facility and scanned my ticket the charge was only $13.... also as we had a 6am flight to catch, walking over to the parking facility at 4.30am, it was not something that I would do again..

The hotel is all about location and so was a fair price. I stayed in a "matchbox" room so did not expect anything special but the layout of the room could have been so much better. A pity really, because the location was great!
