The rooms are pretty good aswell as the location maybe? But parking is a nightmare like only 2.1 metres? Our hilux could barely fit we only had 1-2 inches of space otherwise we would hit something and the rooms? We boot the suite and it was mediocre at best a shower that can spill water out a fridge that barely keeps drinks cool and stains on bed sheets do not recommend
Pros: quick check in and out and size of apartment. That’s it. Cons: dirty room (dust build up etc which made me question the cleanliness overall), incredibly noisy room made noisier by single glazed windows that won’t close, uncomfortable couches, bed are OK for 1 night. Friend stayed in another apartment and confirmed apartment was ran down and uncomfortable, not only this, he had a random person come into his apartment at 11pm, not sure if it was staff or incorrect key access give to another guest - either way it’s unacceptable and dangerous. If you want any sleep at all during your stay, then I wouldn’t stay here. Cheap, get what you pay for, should have known better.
Wouldn’t book this place even if my life depended on it. at no point did it say $300 hold and cannot pay bond in cash. they only tell you this after you book it in the DMs. what if i didnt have $300 on my card . next to tram tracks so not good if youre a light sleeper. for the price i expected better but just to safe, avoid all crest hotels in the future. plenty of better options out there
The worst experience i have ever encountered with accommodation services. The rooms were filthy, felt unsafe, the staff were rude and in some instances abusive which other guests witnessed and at least asked if we were ok. It looks nothing like the images on the internet. a very large bond was taken without notification and to date has not yet been released. Despite trying to have a conversation with management and was again met with dismissive and abusive behaviour. Will never stay again and will never recommend it to anyone. Suggest looking elsewhere. Its a shame as it has a lot of potential.
Dirty rooms, bad service, poorly managed… Was given a disgustingly dirty room on Saturday. Dirty sheets, poo stained carpets, unhygienic surfaces & equipment. Previous guest belongings, hair, rubbish, food items remained. Spoke to reception was informed no other rooms available. Left during night, could not rest as it was so disgusting. Went past on Monday to see manager, she said she needs a day to investigate & will call me in regards to compensation as they did have many other rooms available on the night, just the receptionist wasn’t trained for such situations… waited 2 days, so called hotel 4pm Tuesday, she had left for the day. So manager doesn’t work weekends, staff can’t call her outside of office hours, she just walked in at 9:30am Monday, she’s gone by 4pm during the week. She can’t take action until head office approves… can’t be normal responsibilities & working hours for a manager in a large hotel, won’t be long and st Kilda will have another shelter in such a prime location
