Excellent and friendly staff, very clean, location was outstanding, view incredible, handy having onsite cafe, room was big enough for our family of 2 adults and 2 young children. Concierge so helpful took our bags to our room and helped us with anything. Porta cot supplied was very clean and in excellent condition. Playroom in the building was awesome for the kids to have a play inside. Would stay again! Fridge could be bigger but big enough for a couple.

As soon as we opened the door the view was amazing. Bed was comfortable, pillows not so comfortable, bathroom door too open on top and bottom plus the vanity mirror did not turn on. But convenient location to walk restaurants. Also a bit hard to find the entrance to reception. Needs more signage. Overall though we had a great stay.

Room itself was quite small, carpet was old and well used. Although the hotel is trying to be environmentally good we opted for our room to be cleaned daily which was fine but our coffee etc was never topped up. As we booked through Expedia our room looked into a noisy hi raise construction site (pool room view) which we had to keep our curtains permanently closed due to workmen being able to look in our room. Hotel was not busy and could have put us in a Yarra river view room away from construction site.

Comfy and convenient

We had a really nice stay. Our room was modern with a very comfortable bed and lovely bathroom. The buffet breakfast had a wonderful selection to choose from. We went to see a show at The Palms at Crown so very conveniently located. Heaps of dining options nearby too.
