Overall very good but a few basic things that could be improved. All of the flat surfaces in the living room had extensive dust on them and you could see they had not been wiped in some time. Room access cards need to be reset. A sauna or gym would be a great addition. For a family holiday it was great value for money.

It is a great place to stay for the CBD of Melbourne, for us it was easy access to Southbank, DFO, and the central CBD.
