They display rooms with queen sized beds and two bedside tables. This room had one bed side table and the other side of the bed was pushed up against the wall. Is this the quality of room you get if you don't book directly with the hotel? Very poor.

Good location with buses and trams close by. The room was clean and equipped with 2 chairs (always a plus when you're a couple), kettle and fridge. Treated to a spectacular view of hot air balloons from our window on Tuesday morning. EV charging was convenient if not exactly cheap ($30-). Only one block from Lygon Street eateries and a Woolworths supermarket just up the road.

Loved the location, walkable to museum, carlton gardens, CBD, shops, restaurants. It was quiet and clean and staff were excellent. The bed was ok (a bit lumpy), and bathroom a bit small but it was clean. Overall the hotel met our expectations and it was also great to receive a free bottle of wine due to Expedia silver status.
