Very average - poorly maintained and worn out
It is a very average stay. The Annex building was very poorly maintained, lift wasnt working to our floor, interiors were worn out. 2-star place at best.

Great location. Less than 5 minutes to Casino. 10 minutes to Flinders St Station. No complaints here :)
first room they gave me wasn't cleaned before i arrived. had to call up reception and they moved me to another room not the best start but the new room was on the third floor and a sign on the elevator told me that it only went to the second and from there i had to go up the fire escape and and get to my room that way.
the room was large and spacious but carpets had stains one of the window blinds was missing and the walls had several hole that where they have been haphazardly patch over. ultimately a massive disappointment

Comfortable but a little rundown with poor service
Had a toilet that was running and dripping in the cistern the entire 5 night stay despite repeated requests to reception. General condition of the place was a little rundown and no housekeeping the entire stay.
On the positive, my apartment had a full kitchen, very large living area for the price and the location was great for the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The room was good but could do with thicker glass or some sort of sound barrier to reduce noise of trains. Other then that I really enjoyed my stay for the price I paid.
Great location. Room was nice although couldn’t close 1 of the windows and the bedside lamp was broken. The staff were a little difficult to understand.

Great location - nice views
Location was excellent for our week at the Melbourne Convention Centre. The hotel room itself was pretty disappointing. The carpet was soiled and had cigarette burns, in the bathroom doors were falling off the cabinets and the air conditioning could not be adjusted. The TV in the main bedroom did not work.
Ok for business as we were out most of the time, beds were surprisingly good and the towels were changed daily so some good things to report.
Location is very good, being close to train stations, shopping and dining options. Very noisy on Saturday night through to Sunday morning due to patrons of various local entertainment venues flowing on to the street and shouting etc. Somewhat noisy on other nights due to proximity of a loading dock opposite the apartment building. Very clean. Note reception has limited hours of operation.
Got told that all rooms had balconies however we were given one without. We were taken to a separate building away from the main building too which there was no mention of prior.

Disappointed
Disappointing- apartment badly in need of an update and nothing like the leading photos. As soon as you open the door there was a steep set of about 20 stairs. The lounges were old and uncomfortable. To get to garage was not easy had to go outside, around the corner and put a key in a lock on the wall. Not able to be done from car. Elevator did not connect to apartment at all.
the property as a accommodation was very good liked it a lot. would recommend the property. as for the service it failed all aspects. Not happy about the 2 rooms not ready, put into 2 bedroom then tried moving us out next day but only 1 couple nowhere for the other. if got over these hurdles will be a good place to stay.
