Good overall property

confusion regarding the communication between Expedia and the property regarding our payment. Expedia said we had paid for one night when in fact, we had not been charged, but we had received a receipt according.

More cons than pros unfortunately. Pros - friendly staff, well appointed room with all conveniences, comfy bed and pillows, close to Southbank. Cons - surface clean but otherwise dirty, our room desperately needed a deep clean and a repaint, noisy despite double glazed windows (hard to stop noise when your hotel is right next to the West Gate Fwy), rubbish everywhere outside hotel entrance. Not a 4 star hotel at present, won’t be staying again sorry.

Not a great stay for me this time

Booked a 'Sky' apartment for the elevation and view, and the views were limited and included a building site, a car park, major roads right outside the room, on the lowest floor that they include in 'Sky'. Disappointing. I've stayed here before and had much better views in the same room type, and a bigger room (the bed was almost wedged against the wall in an irregular shaped bedroom). The bed was too soft for my taste, there was a pube on the bathroom floor, and something that looked like a booger on the wall in the living room. Not a good stay. I was close to becoming a regular and promoter but will be looking elsewhere (already booked 2 nights next week elsewhere). I did go down to reception after seeing the room, and they could have put me in a higher floor 'Sky' room as they had two bedroom ones available, but wanted to charge me the difference. Given I was not happy at all with my room and was finding it inferior to what I'd had before, I'd have expected better, and at 6:45pm it's not like their higher rooms would be likely to all be getting booked at that point for that night so there's no extra cost to them that I can see. A potential regular customer and promoter lost.

Housekeeping didn’t come clean the room the first couple of days. On the last night it rained and the bedroom smelt very mouldy. Pillows weren’t the best. However the view was really nice from the 35th floor.

Great views and a decent stay

The view from the hotel was amazing. The beds were comfy and the shower was good. However, the kitchen needs a deep clean and the hotel was in average shape. It’s an odd place - half hotel and half apartments with full-time residents. The pool area is much smaller in photos. while there were less than 10 people outside, there was nowhere to sit. Gym was small but good. They also had a mini theatre. I probably would not stay there again due to cleanliness but it did have amazing views.
