Hotel has a great vibe. Rooms are spacious. Large TV in the lounge area and bedroom. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great location. Car park a very short walk from the hotel and you can go in and out as often as you like. I travel a lot and can strongly recommend.

This was my favorite spot to workout when I was in Melbourne. Beautiful outdoor space, the skyscraper in the distance, awesome water reflection. There are a few public barbecues as well if you want to enjoy a picnic on the grass.
