Don't eat breakfast. Location excellent for purpose of attending Monnee Valley racecourse.
All good, only minor criticism is the a/c was noisy - it did cool the room though.

The staff were very friendly, special mention to Lucy who, when I arrived exhausted at 10am after a 34 hour flight, asked if I could check in early and she changed my room as the one I had been given was being cleaned and gave me the opportunity to go in and sleep. They didn't charge me anything extra. Super friendly.

1. The staff are friendly and kind. The other day we wanted to visit Victoria Market but the staff told us it was Australia Day and it was closed. She was reallly helpful. 2. There was a public area where people can meet, which also provides a microwave oven, a dishwasher, and some coffee for free. Unlucky, we didn't have a chance to meet other people, they look quite busy. 3. The location is perfect. Train station and bus station are just around. Coles is ten minutes to walk.
