Overall, a nice stay. Spacious room with comfy bed and amenities. Secure parking on site. Air con in our room was effective but extremely loud and whistled all night. Desk staff didn't really know what local facilities were about, ie we asked where the nearest bar was and they directed us down St Kilda Rd to a burger place, when there was one open immediately across the street.

Customer service is dreadful. Heard them lying on the phone then tell the other staff member that they think the customer brought the lie. I had also sent a request through about my booking before the date and they ignored it completely as if i never sent the email.
