This is a lovely, modest hotel in an ideal location for walking & attending events in Melbourne. Recently updated with a pleasing colour palette. Courteous & friendly, helpful staff, parking available close by. Wonderful comfortable bed & pillows, room temperature suitable for sleeping. The bathroom while original was so clean, and has a feature not found in many more modern hotels, the mirror is not affected by shower steam.
