While central to the airport, it is a nightmare for parking. Staff friendly and place is good for price although dusty and dirty marks on sheets, the noise and chaos traffic puts me off staying available.

Puntill Melb Visit

Family visit to Melb. Room was noisy as above the busy street level and had a pugnant smell generated from the downstairs restaurant. If I stayed there again I would seek a room further away from the street and restaurant. Great central location however.
