Happy Canadians

What a great place to stay. Cool candy bar by the elevator! All the staff were happy and informative! So nice to see. The complimentary wine was amazing. The downtown location was perfect for access to all things Melbourne. We loved it so much that we stayed here twice during our visit to Australia.
