Disappointing, but well priced

Quite disappointing. I have stayed here twice before and it has deteriorated significantly over three years. The cafe advertised open until 11am but was mostly closed at 10 am. The reverse cycle air con was noisy and didn’t heat well in a freezing Melbourne winter. Extra blankets were dirty.

It wasnt worth staying here because after paying $35 for parking when added to the modertae room rate i could ha e stayed in a better area. Staff were curt apart from the nigh shift manager was very accomodating. The cafe downstair closed at 11 am instead of 12 because they felt like it so i had to go looking to get a later breakfast outside. Most of the staff were foreign workers and didnt really care too much or know how to interact with guests. More a hostel vibe. First and last time for me personally. Also homesless people outside on the sidewalk

Great hotel and location close to beach

Lovely hotel, reception friendly and let me store my luggage as I was early to check in, a short walk to beach. Nice cafe in hotel open to 11am. Lots of shops, cafes and restaurants also around. I couldn’t get the spa bath to work is the only small thing but didn’t impact my stay.

I had booked a stay at your hotel in advance for a week without understanding before I approached the property that I had formerly been banned from the listing of the hotel chain. Nobody informed me about this in advance of me making the booking itself, and furthermore, I was told that I had to apply for a refund through the website where I made the booking instead of at the desk itself, delaying my return of the money owed me. Please could you assist me ASAP with this disservice.

Property is dated. There were cracked and broken tiles in the bathroom and shower recess. The room had an old cigarette smell and the heater didn’t work. For the price paid $260 it was pretty awful. I chose to leave and not stay. The manager offered me a different room but I just wanted out.
