My stay at The Criterion in Sale Vic was fantastic! The staff are always incredibly welcoming and helpful, the rooms are always spotlessly clean and comfortable, and the restaurant always has a great variety of delicious options. The location is perfect for my business and personal needs, and I always appreciate the friendly service from Rex, Chad and the team. Definitely my go to accomodation In Sale when I travel to Gippsland for work.
