I dont expect to have to do my own check in and check out at a 5 star hotel, I'm not shopping at Coles!! However the worse was no hot water (freezing cold not even lukewarm) at 7.00 am on the Sunday morning (there was hot water the previous morning) Surely a hotel has enough water for all guest on a Sunday morning. I checked again at 8.00 am and still cold so I had no choice. I visit Melbourne every year and this is the first hotel that I have every left a bad review on.
