Perfect for a no-fuss quick interstate getaway. Fantastic location within the free tram zone. Easy access to all areas of the CBD. The rooms were simple but comfortable, quiet, great value for money and we were able to get parking onsite. We will definitely come here again when next in Melbourne.

The hotel was close to public transport and easier to get to. It was near to places of interest and food. The hotel was clean, the bathroom was new, and maybe some new carpet overall, the place was good. The staff were friendly and helpful.
