Disliked: Staff & service
Room was clean and comfortable. Hotel is a little far away from public transport options, when the weather is very hot. There seemed to be very minimal staff at the hotel, including during a fire alarm at 10pm, where the single staff member on duty asked me to manage other guests and stop them from re-entering the hotel while the alarms were going off. More staff, and more training on emergency protocols is needed here. This very obvious lack of staffing tainted what was otherwise a comfortable stay.

Have stayed here many times. Keep coming back as this hotel is by far one of the best in Melbourne. Location is amazing, close to shopping, casino, restaurant, etc. super clean and comfortable. Easy check in and staff are always kind and friendly. The bar is pretty cool and the meals at the restaurant are good. Really can’t find anything negative about this acc. It’s why I keep coming back again and again.
