The staff was friendly and helped to point us in the right direction to get our day started. Convenient location to access CBD and Yarra River area- 10 minute walk. Also right beside a grocery store and coffee shop. Room was a little worn, but clean. Was surprised by no coffee maker in room, just packs of instant coffee.

Place was clean and comfortable. Renson at the front desk was awesome. He was so helpful and friendly. One issue we had was with the washer dryer combo - it didn’t dry well. Also the shower didn’t drain well or contain the water well and it would leak on the bathroom floor. You could see previous water damage on the floor in the bathroom and in the hallway. But overall we enjoyed our stay
