As soon as we opened the door the view was amazing. Bed was comfortable, pillows not so comfortable, bathroom door too open on top and bottom plus the vanity mirror did not turn on. But convenient location to walk restaurants. Also a bit hard to find the entrance to reception. Needs more signage. Overall though we had a great stay.

Room itself was quite small, carpet was old and well used. Although the hotel is trying to be environmentally good we opted for our room to be cleaned daily which was fine but our coffee etc was never topped up. As we booked through Expedia our room looked into a noisy hi raise construction site (pool room view) which we had to keep our curtains permanently closed due to workmen being able to look in our room. Hotel was not busy and could have put us in a Yarra river view room away from construction site.
