Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Previous guests rubbish left in bathroom, shower was dirty and had hair on the tiles. Dirty window ledges, windows and also mirrors, handprints all over cabinetry. Couldn't confirm if parking would be available, despite travelling almost 3hrs and aren't able to reserve parking at time of booking, which is $35 to park so really taking a chance if driving in. Quite disappointing considering the price charged and being in Melbourne City. Have stayed in 3 star hotels that are much cleaner

Disliked: Amenities
Convenient location and walking distances to restaurants and shops. However, the hotel rooms are outdated. For the price per night the room was not worth it. Shower and toilet area very outdated with it all in one and just an old shower curtain stopping it from spraying over the toilet. Beds were hard. It was clean but due to it being a little run down it makes it look not great. Hotel parking was easy but was extra. The breakfast was good with hot and cold options and modern sitting area.
