Melbourne Inn is a lovely little gem. The staff were so friendly and kind. Melbourne Inn was extremely clean. Our room was quiet and comfortable. The bistro and poolside was nice to come back from a walk and go for a refreshing swim and have a snack. I would highly recommend this place to stay.

We had a great stay here. The staff are so lovely! They are friendly and helpful and so personable! The hotel is nice enough. Our room was fine but our friends room had some issues. The hotel gave them a credit at the end of the week because of the issues which was good. The location is really terrific also. Close to many restaurants, walking distance to everything and right near Dover Beach. I would definitely come here again.

The room was clean and nice, the staff was welcoming, and having the bistro on-site was very accommodating and helpful when you do not want to go out for breakfast or lunch. My only complaint was that the room was smaller than expected, and the room only had one sink that you had to use for the bathroom/kitchen.

The Melbourne Inn was in some backstreet away from the beach. However it was just a short walk away. Greeted very well on arrival. The attached Bistro had friendly staff and were very chatty. Very good standard of food. The only criticism would be the Bar closed at 6:30pm when the Bistro did. Not very good for people on vacation!!
