The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms that are very clean, but privacy is limited, and there is some disturbance from car traffic. The service is attentive and friendly, though there were incidents of forgetting to replenish items.

Overall, the hotel provides good value for money with some minor drawbacks.

The hotel is conveniently located for business appointments, offering a quiet stay with easy access to shops and restaurants. While the surroundings may appear unkempt due to the autumn leaves, the staff is always willing to help. The room I stayed in, despite facing Bell Street, was well soundproofed and immaculately clean. However, the noise from traffic made it challenging to get a restful night's sleep.

My stay at the hotel was much more enjoyable than I expected. The room was roomy and comfortable, although I encountered a slight concern with a smell initially. The staff was polite and friendly, and the service was absolutely fantastic. The hotel's location was perfect for my business needs in Melbourne, very convenient for shops and restaurants. The dining options were fairly ordinary with a limited range of food, but there was plenty of variety in breakfast choices. Overall, a great vibe and good value for money.
