My room had a noisy air conditioner. When the compressor came on to maintain the temperature, a loud rattle could be heard coming from the unit. I had to squash a coke can and pry it between the air conditioner and the door closer to stop the noise.

Great location. Can Uber anywhere around town for next to nothing. Staff were always happy and friendly. Our toilet seat was broken and no lock on the bathroom door, but we had a family room and didn’t bother saying anything about it. Although I should have told them bout the toilet seat cos now I feel bad for the next lot of ppl that payed for that room. Will definitely make this hotel my first option when going back to Melbourne, can’t beat the price.
