Was ok stay till the bed bugs started crawling on last night!! Night team did their best to find me another room but not fun moving at 2am. Team took photos and the bugs in an envelope (I kept photos as well). Couple of towels had stains, I asked for replacements which took 2 hours to get. All room bedsides and tables had coffee stains, which I easily cleaned myself. I normally put a "Do Not Disturb" for the whole trip as I don't need bed made up by others for the 3-4 nights I'm usually travelling so can't judge the room service etc. Location is good. The Musgrave Park is known for hosting homeless tents which sadly is becoming more common scene in Australia. Police and council were there on last day removing and relocating. Morning team checkout lady was nonchalant. She just casually apologized and initially wanted to offer free breakfast only to realize that I already pre-paid. Not that I want freebies but they will struggle to have repeat customers like that. Last time I'm personally staying there

Service seems to be heading downhill, which is disappointing because I have stayed at this hotel many times before. Unfortunately, I think this visit might have been my last. Before arriving, I tried calling several times to secure a car park but the phone just rang out. No answer. When I checked in I was told parking was unavailable, the Convention Centre was full, and I should “try my luck” in Southbank. Nothing like a little scavenger hunt for parking before an event. After circling around for a while, I eventually found a spot for the bargain price of $78 and sprinted back to the hotel to get ready. In my rush I thought room service would be the easiest option for dinner. Unfortunately the room service phone also rang out repeatedly and the voicemail inbox was full. Clearly everyone had the same idea. So no dinner before the event. Returning at around 10pm, fairly hungry, I discovered the restaurant downstairs was closed, despite there being people sitting inside. I then learned the hotel no longer offers room service after 9pm. This was revealed only after calling front desk, since the room service phone was still happily directing callers to its permanently full voicemail. It was lucky I called the front desk actually, because they had also forgotten to add my husband to the room despite my earlier request, which meant he would not have been able to get a key when he arrived later from another event. Small wins. Dinner ended up being a packet of chips. I then realised the hotel also does not provide complimentary water, so I enjoyed two very small and very overpriced bottles from the minibar before eventually surrendering to the tap water. With no room service after 9pm, hydration becomes a DIY activity. After all that, I decided to skip the $70 per head breakfast. I felt I had already had the full culinary experience. To be fair, the room itself was clean and tidy and the bed was comfortable. I also received a complimentary early morning alarm courtesy of the guests stomping around upstairs from 5:30am. As an added bonus, the bathroom door would occasionally swing open by itself after being closed, which saved me the cost of booking a ghost tour elsewhere. Yes, I know these are first world problems. But at this price point, it is usually the little things that make the difference. Unfortunately, most of those little things seem to have disappeared.

Hotel overall was very nice. Room service food for breakfast was great. Well presented and food was delicious. Accessible room had plenty of space and bathroom was also spacious. Disappointing that bathroom did not have a fixed bench in the shower and had to request a shower chair. No trouble but really should not have to ask. Question maybe should have been asked when checking in ?? I was with my wife who has limited mobility but we noted that some things could be better designed for a single person in a wheel chair. Room fridge was very low and all drinks were at floor level, meaning access would be difficult for a customer in a wheelchair with out assistance. Other items - iron and hair dryer were also stored at floor level, once again some customers would find it difficult to access them without assistance. Bed was comfortable and room was fairly new.

Well this didn’t go as planned. I had originally booked and paid for non-refundable 2 night stay in November, just a getaway for hubby and myself. Dates were changed to January due to illness and was told the room rate was cheaper so we had credit which covered parking and a bit more. In Jan my mother took ill so dates were changed over the phone to Feb 13-14, and yes still had the credit. Imagine my surprise to be called to reception after check in (room credit had been discussed) to be advised we still owed $700 making it just over $1200/2 nights (probs price gouging due to nearby event). I explained I was not told of this when date was changed over the phone….. also how come I still had room credit? Why didn’t they contact me before the weekend to advise, also, I had booked non refundable so this should have been paid BEFORE the weekend. Apparently there was an attachment to confirmation email which I didn’t read because the changed dates were in subject heading. Manager wouldn’t budge - we got 1 night stay …. Believe me this room is NOT worth the $600/night. I have learnt 2 things - 1. Always check email attachments in case they pull a swifty and 2. Never staying there again
