Lovely Hotel

Loved my suite. I stay in this hotel regularly and always love it. Took a swim and spa as well. So good

Convenience and central location. Decor is a bit worn but other than this, all good.
Fa, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great staff. Everyone helpful and accommodating. The air conditioning in the room was noisy through the night. My biggest issue was the bedding. Two flat sheets covering a soiled duvet does not do it for me. Overall a good stay.
Alex, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very spacious room with comfortable bedding. Common areas could be cleaner (hallways) where guests walk - needed a vacuum and dishes removed etc. A very central location with helpful staff and good on site facilities.

Ranjit, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This hotel is well located for the Parliamentary circle, and parking (paid) is good. The staff were very friendly, but a number were inexperienced and so not as efficient as they may be (breakfast restaurant table clearing, for example). The fitout is nice, but overall the hotel could better maintained - door frames around the room were chipped, and at least two of the service plates on the breakfast buffet had big chips in them.
Michael, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is ok, but is a bit tired. The staff were great though. The foyer / reception and ground level area inside is quite nice.
Jeremy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Having arrived from a late flight issue in Melbourne at 1.45am i was pleased to have a room waiting. My stay was short, as I was up at 7.00am and out of the Hotel around 8.00am. The room had everything that was needed. Thank you for accommodating my late arrival. (Early morning arrival)
