Location is located right along the Route 59 Tram Line making it quite easy to travel to both Downtown Melbourne and the airport. It is also walking distance to convince stores and a shopping plaza. Staff was very friendly and thorough at check-in. The room was cute, clean, & updated. No issues or commotions caused by other guests.

Great rooms. Beds are a little bit stiff but comfortable. Not a huge fan of the two twins together being called a king bed, but that’s being nitpicky. The balcony is great and the showers are perfect. Very comfortable place I will definitely book again.
