Wonderful stay in the city!
It was nice and close to the office, really comfortable and I had a great view of the Yarra. Loved the huge windows that let the sun in. Absolutely gorgeous. I had a night flight home and was able to store my bags with the concierge, return to get them and then head to the airport. I really appreciated the convenience of being able to go for a walk around the city without having to lug my bags around. The staff were all really lovely, professional and helpful. My bed was super comfortable and I loved the layout of the room. Everything was in the best place. Also, the aircon was really easy to program. Sometimes it can be a bit tricky, but this was really easy to deal with (even half asleep).
