From the moment we checked in, the Front Desk personnel treated us very warmly. The hotel is located in an ideal area. Walking distance to everything, including shops, restaurants, bars, casino and public transport. Our room overlooked the Yarra River, and was spectacular.

We stayed at the Clarion 2 weekends in a row. The room was perfect (Yarra View with balcony). Location was excellent, walking distance to so many things/attractions. Facilities were ample, bed was so comfortable, WiFi available, spacious room. And we were lucky enough to have the gorgeous Elvie check us in both times. 😊

Wonderful hotel with the most friendly and helpful staff. Always feels lovely and clean. The only downside would be that the tvs aren’t smart, so can’t stream or cast to, but that’s only minor & just something to be aware of. Highly recommend and we have stayed there multiple times
