One of the better room setups and bed was very comfy compared to other hotels we've stayed at recently in Melbourne. Aircon was nice and quiet to use and have on at night, otherwise the room got quite warm. Buffet breakfast was definitely not worth the extra payment, very overpriced for what is on offer.
