We loved the two adjoining rooms with the space to rest and relax after a long flight from the US. Good location close to the airport and many food options up and down the street.
Our stay was brief but excellent, staff very helpful and professional.
The car parking and the location all made it a very enjoyable stay and will definitely use again.
I really liked having a kitchenette. Cooking meals was a big bonus. One thing I didn't like is I couldn't figure out the nespresso machine. So I stuck to the instant coffee they supply. You can fill up on filtered water in the lobby. They do sell bags of chips, wine, beer, and soda in the lobby. Everything was very clean. Very nice staff.
We booked as a last minute stay and the staff were really accommodating and made the process so easy for us to check in after reception hours. Room was lovely and tidy, had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again if in the area.
Perfect location , our car was safely parked in the hotel car park , clean room , everything we needed & lovely friendly staff . Would stay there again
Room was even better than we expected and the staff were very helpful

Couples Footy Trip.
It was a great place to stay with lots of Eateries in walking distance as well as the Public transport.
Our Studio Apartment was very comfortable, clean & nice & quiet.
Loved our 2 night stay & also great to have secure under cover parking
Location is located right along the Route 59 Tram Line making it quite easy to travel to both Downtown Melbourne and the airport. It is also walking distance to convince stores and a shopping plaza. Staff was very friendly and thorough at check-in. The room was cute, clean, & updated. No issues or commotions caused by other guests.
