Lovely waterside location. Perfect for cafes, walks and runs
Pros:

Location was great. Loved being next to the water.

Cons:

The only improvement could be the coffee machine! Milk frother needs replacing. Everything else was great.

Awesome location and facilities.
Pros:

The views across the bay were wonderful and interesting, the location was first rate with immediate access to ferries across the bay and up the mouth of the Yarra into Melbourne. All of which were interesting, especially passing beneath the West Gate bridge and the developments in Docklands. Williamstown station was in easy walking distance so Melbourne itself was surprisingly close. The apartment was spacious, well maintained given its age and needed only to have the large windows cleaned of salt scale to achieve perfection.

Cons:

The bathroom was quite tired and a little uncomfortable with an undersized toilet and step into bath/shower. The amenities were broadly useful and in good condition however. The bed swallowed us up in a loose embrace and weren’t great for those of us with bad backs.

Pros:

Easy access and nice location, bar and restaurant right there did not need to go out if I had a big day. Could just relax with the entertainment.

Cons:

Was all good and suited me for the travel I am in Melbourne for.

Great place to stay and having the restaurant downstairs makes it the perfect place to stay when in Williamstown.
Pros:

Clean, its proximity to Nelson Place and friendly staff.

Cons:

One tiny thing: I wish our 2 bedroom apartment had a balcony but no big issue.
