The Front of House personal were quite "aggressive" when we re-entered the premise after my wife and I went to watch the community event Melbourne Marathon on Sunday morning at approximately 7.00 am, holding us at the main door and demanding to view our Room Key. also, our room was not serviced by Housekeeping, I had to request clean towels at approximately 3 pm in the afternoon.

    “Very chill place to stay with that “just renovated” 5 star feel (unlike many that are not 5 star anymore!) it’s a great experience. Beds a bit hard for our personal taste but large and comfortable. Very well priced”
