Fantastic staff everywhere in the facility. Our aircon had a minor with the swinging vent but very minor. Everything was great. Shall definitely return. Highlight was the excellent staff.

We would come back again for sure.
Pros:

Location is very convenient, the room was clean and tidy. The restaurant offers good food.

Cons:

On our 2nd night which is a tuesday night, around 9pm there was a loud machine noise under our room. Like a big dishwasher working, it was annoying because the next day my daughter had an early morning swim comp and it took awhile for her to sleep.

Would stay again.
Pros:

Room was nice, the beds and pillows in particular were very comfy. Wife I actually looked up the pillows to see if we could get a set for ourselves, but they're available only for hospitality customers unfortunately. The atrium/dining area was quite nice, and the building itself has a cool art-deco sort of vibe.

Cons:

Traffic noise from the street was bad at times. The heating setting didn't go quite low enough and heated the room up a bit more than we'd have liked, so would up leaving it off.

A golden stay in the goldfields of Victoria.
Pros:

This was a business trip & a few days beforehand I twisted my ankle badly & I was on crutches. The young man at the reception was very concerned as there was no lift. He offered to move us to another property for our stay. A ground floor unit. Considerably more expensive but he said it was not a problem & he was offering it at the same price. We decided to stay in the room & he rushed to take the bags & carried them up the stairs himself. So helpful. The room was large & well appointed. The bed extremely comfortable with lovely fluffy pillows. It really was a lovely room & when we went downstairs for a drink before dinner, we discovered that all the staff were extremely friendly & courteous. I have travelled extensively and found the team at Oscars to be professional and really lovely young people. It was a pleasure.

Cons:

No lift 😂
