Solid Stay

The location provided easy access to key areas. I liked the hot shower, especially the large showerhead. The selection of quality teas was a nice touch and there were plenty of dining options nearby.
The room smelled slightly bad, almost like raw sewage.

Decent Stay with a Few Hiccups

great locationeasy accessshort drivetowel shortagefaulty fridgepoor lighting
The hotel has a great location near District Docklands. Outlet Shopping and food options were within easy walking distance. The zoo was only a short drive away from the hotel. The tram stop directly in front of the hotel was a huge plus.
I had to ask for towels daily, sometimes more than once. The fridge did not work well. It overheated, and it did not keep things cold. The room lighting was not adequate. The room could have been cleaner upon arrival.

Really good stay with great amenities

spacious roomdecent gymlarge poolsimple breakfast
The room was spacious and allowed three carry-on luggages to be spread out. The gym included free weights and cables for a proper workout. The pool and spa were large, even if a little busy on a hot day (understandable, though!). The buffet breakfast was simple, yet satisfying.
The shower pressure was a bit weak, something that I hope they will fix soon.

The hotel sits right next to the last stop on the free city circle trams. This made getting into the CBD very easy. Some nice walkways are nearby and they were also good for a run.

The buffet breakfast offered a simple range of choices. All of the food items seemed fresh and regularly restocked. I found enough to eat, and the coffee was good (especially considering it was from a buffet).
