Lovely hotel and a very enjoyable stay. The location of Crowne Plaza Melbourne is excellent, with easy access to the riverfront, restaurants, public transport, and key Melbourne attractions. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well presented, and the staff were friendly, professional, and helpful throughout our stay. Breakfast was also very good, with a nice variety and efficient service. Overall, a great experience and we would happily stay here again.
