Bed was really comfortable and room size was great.
Painfully slow check in and the apartment furniture was very scuffed and worn. Uncomfortable couch with no cushions provided. Windows and walls had a lot of marks and weren’t very clean.

The Expedia site lists the reception hours with closing at 8pm 7 days per week. This is not correct, apparently they close the reception at 7pm weekdays and 5pm weekends. This was inconvenient and the Expedia site should be corrected

Close to train station to allow access to night life in the city. Close to breakfast options for the morning after. Easy to access from regional Victoria. Clean, tidy and convenient.
