Great hotel in a central location
Pros:

Staff were incredible and went out of their way to accommodate my needs. They upgraded me into a one bedroom apartment because I needed a walk in shower. On site parking was available for $35. I will definately stay there again.

Cons:

Some areaa are a tiny bit dated but beds are comfortable and rooms are clean. Could have coffee machines in rooms but otherwise was exceptional

Great view and comfy bed
Pros:

Extremely comfortable bed with lovely sheets and pillows.
Lovely river views and the soundproofing works well in the bedroom.
Good basic equipment in the kitchen to prepare a meal.

Cons:

We really missed not being able to use streaming services on the TV. The screen mirroring service does not work either - we checked with the hotel staff.

Pros:

Firstly our receptionist (Phuy) greeted us so beautifully and warmly. As we were running the Melbourne marathon the next day we asked for a late checkout and it was no problem at all. The room was a great size, although we didn't make use of the lounge or kitchen facilities as our stay was brief.

Cons:

There was some train noise and traffic noise that we could hear, although it didn't bother us once a sleep
