Excellent hotel for work trip. Facilities were great and free breakfast was a great inclusion. My only feedback is that it’s Melbourne - let’s have coffee that reflects it.
Great clean room, excellent block out blinds, good bathroom and comfy bed. Breakfast is a huge spread of cooked eggs bacon beans toast, pastries and cereals.

Very nice hotel, great clean, modern rooms, cl9se to city, some great views from communal balcony, very good breakfast - great place to stay to explore Melbourne.
Very clean and friendly staff; only criticism is that breakfast is extremely busy (maybe need a 4 hour breakfast window instead of 3 to have enough tables for all guests)
