We stayed in an executive King room for 3 nights. The room was clean, spacious quiet with excellent amenities including a kitchenette. Location was great, walking distance to the CBD and close to tram stations, theatre, restaurants. The breakfast buffet was very good. We would stay here again when next in Melbourne.
