Absolute lack of room amenities gave me a chuckle, its 2026, why are cheap instant coffee sticks anywhere near these rooms when hotels hostels and bnbs everywhere else in the world have some approximation of a pod style machine in single rooms let alone king rooms.
Room was dusty, with detritus on the carpet on arrival, there was a somewhat obvious hole in my sheets near the head of the bed, any attendant who made the bed couldn't have missed it so i can only assume no one really cares about working here enough to silently take care of something like that. Walls are so remarkably thin that I could hear an 'electric toothbrush' running in the next room, when I wasnt being shocked out of sleep by the sound of the toilet lid slamming down in the other next door room.
miscellaneous pillow stain was an interesting one too. Even after leaving it topside, it wasn't changed for 2 days.
Shower cant decide if it was to be scalding hot or arctic, but at least the pressure was pretty excellent.
only things supplied in the bathroom was a single hairdryer, a water glass and a sanitary hygiene disposal bag. I'd love to know which accountant justified cutting Q-tips out of the room budget. The little downstairs cafe downstairs feels like it belongs in the backrooms attached to some forgotten convention centre, if sacrificing two bottles of water and a coffee maker in the rooms is what it took for this paltry excuse of a cafe to live, then I feel very sad for the future of Melbourne hotels. But again, i DID sleep very soundly for the majority of my stay. And a special shoutout to the gentlemen at the front desk, genuinely quite helpful and has a pretty great customer service attitude.
