Positive Reviews
positive:
In a quiet area
Many guests have liked how quiet this hotel is. The property sits back from the road and, therefore, very little traffic noise is present. Since the hotel is far from the city, you won't experience the same kind of noise pollution that you might in a more central area.
positive:
Friendly staff members
Numerous guests have had positive interactions with the hotel's staff. These staff members are friendly and accommodating, so guests had no issues when they needed anything from the front desk.
positive:
Kosher food available
This property sits in a largely Jewish part of the city and the on-site restaurant offers kosher food. Guests found this convenient, as they didn't have to leave the property in search of food that they could eat.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Old, dated common areas
Past guests have said that this is an old hotel and the common areas, in particular, are starting to show their advanced age. Guests have said that the carpets are in dire need of an update and that other parts of the property should be replaced, as well.
negative:
Far from the city
Guests have complained about how far this property is from Melbourne. Those who wanted to use the hotel as a home base for exploring the city were disappointed because they couldn't walk to the Central Business District.
negative:
Tight parking lot
There have been complaints about the parking lot being a little tight at this property. Therefore, guests struggled to get their vehicles parked, especially when driving a larger car or an SUV.
