9.2/10 Wonderful! (908 reviews)
We stayed at the Executive Suite on the ninth floor. The room was roomy and comfortable. Well-appointed and tastefully decorated. We paid a similar amount to what 5-star hotels were quoting for their entry-level rooms in Melbourne CBD at the same period, so it was excellent value. If I need to pick on something, it would be very minor things: one of the two couches in the sitting room was not comfortable for longer sitting, and the shower (in the oversize, functional bathroom) could do with a shelf for a toothbrush or a soap. Minor issues indeed. We will stay there again.

"Staff were very helpful and understanding of after hours checkin. Getting the key was a smooth process in the after hours chute and the room was ready for us, with heating and lights already turned on, which we were very appreciative of as it was a cold night. The beds were clean and comfortable ..."
