Special birthday Melbourne stay

Well appointed hotel, small room but has everything you need. The room smelt of mould, quite strong. I mentioned it to concierge that if someone could have a look at the drain in the show as I think that's where it's coming from but no one turned up? Other than that we had a lovely time.

All in all good stay. Only things I did not like are the breakfast buffet, which looks good but is actually very disappointing (not really a lot of options or tasty) and the room is quite small with very limited storage (and they use some of it for the minibar snacks). The elevators and lobby do get busy, but was not an issue for me.

There was barely any utensils in the room such as a plate or knife or a decent wine glass only 2 tumblers supplied. There was only one facewasher in the bathroom for 2 people. Room was like a matchbox and you could not easily reach light switches on either side of the bed. No toothbrush or any extras supplied in the bathroom except for a showercap. Pillows were terrible. All in all for the price expected more.

An All-round Pleasure

Really enjoyed my stay here. Beds were large and comfy, bathroom was really fresh, living and lounging spaces were relaxing, and the staff were all really friendly and really helpful. The location is excellent in the CBD and near plenty of good eateries. I would happily stay here again in the future.
