I booked this hotel for its closeness to the Formula 1 track at Albert Park and it was great. The easy access to the tram either to the city or for entrance options for the track was excellent. The staff however need to be informed of what is happening with special events and more about Melbourne to support their customers. I was given incorrect information twice. The parking underneath is easy & a fair rate just make sure how the ticketing works is explained correctly. The room was clean & neat and very comfortable.

Overall, a nice stay. Spacious room with comfy bed and amenities. Secure parking on site. Air con in our room was effective but extremely loud and whistled all night. Desk staff didn't really know what local facilities were about, ie we asked where the nearest bar was and they directed us down St Kilda Rd to a burger place, when there was one open immediately across the street.

The room was good , comfortable and in an excellent location. However, some of the front staff did have attitude and a little abrupt. Overall the stay was pleasant.
