Simply the Best in Gippsland

My stay at The Criterion in Sale Vic was fantastic! The staff are always incredibly welcoming and helpful, the rooms are always spotlessly clean and comfortable, and the restaurant always has a great variety of delicious options. The location is perfect for my business and personal needs, and I always appreciate the friendly service from Rex, Chad and the team. Definitely my go to accomodation In Sale when I travel to Gippsland for work.
