We stayed here for 5 days. The hotel is in an absolutely great location. Very good value for money, not one of those fancy five star hotels, but it has been okay.l for what you pay. The buffet breakfast is ok! sufficient for what you need, but they need to add some cheese options and salads. The hygiene of the room was generally good, but there were heaps of dust on the desks and under the beds if you move it by a tiny bit for whatever needs you may have. The parking costs extra but it has been very good and reliable with heaps of parkings available during the week.

This hotel is in a very good location. An easy walk to the MCG. The staff were very professional and the room was clean and tidy. Very basic room with not a whole lot of space. The toilet shower door was odd but I understand its to save space. The free breakfast is convenient but not very nice. I would 100% stay here again no worries. When you arrive take the elevator to level 7 and then when to get to your room level scan your card in the lift and get to your level. You dont need to scan it to go back down.

Nice hotel with excellent rooms, amenities and location. Check-in was smooth and staff were polite. Room was perfect size, large shower and good bathroom. This hotel is largely eco-friendly so I chose my room not to be serviced (2 night stay). Hotel is close to Southgate and Southbank. Was just a really pleasant stay

The room was tidy and modern. We found the bed to be uncomfortable however we do like more of a medium to soft bed and this was quite hard. Pillows were pretty comfortable. Basic buffet breakfast. We just stayed one night, room was quiet. Great value for money.

I am extremely disappointed with the services at Holiday Inn Express. First of all, I was surprised to find that there was no drinking water provided in the room, not even tap water. The level of cleanliness was very poor. The mattresses did not have proper covers, and when we requested room cleaning, the staff reused the same dirty and wrinkled bedsheets instead of replacing them. The carpet was filthy, covered with hair and dirt. The bathroom had a water leak that soaked the carpet, causing a strong damp and moldy smell. In addition, the room door was very difficult to close and required excessive force, which was extremely frustrating. The bathroom was also missing basic amenities such as toothbrushes and disposable slippers, which are normally expected at this price point. I booked this hotel based on the brand name, expecting a much higher standard of service and maintenance. The breakfast was very poor and not suitable for vegetarians at all. The main options were pork, beans, and scrambled eggs that were clearly prepared in advance and kept covered. Fruit options were extremely limited: oranges on the first day, watermelon on the second day, along with yogurt, cornflakes (wheat and rice), a very small croissant, orange and strawberry jam. The hash browns were cold on the first day and soaked in oil, causing stomach discomfort. Additionally, the glasses and plates were dirty, and it was difficult to find clean dishes. For two nights, a standard room cost $400, which is completely unacceptable given the quality of service, hygiene, and maintenance. I am giving one star only because the location is excellent and close to essential services, and the shampoo provided in the room was good and vegan-friendly. Other than that, this stay was far below the expected standards of the Holiday Inn brand.
