The room was kept clean and tidy. There was almost everything included for a family stay for the rate we received. Additionally, as I mentioned it is my wife's birthday the property even included a surprise gift for us. That was a surprise for us and really enjoyed it! Always recommending the Clarion Suites by Choice Hotels and it would be a shame not mentioning about the amazing view of the Yarra River and the Melbourne Skyline from the River view room we received. Thank you so much for it! I would hopefully go to a higher level next time! :-)

The staff were very nice and accommodating..the room was awesome very big perfect for my large family. The breakfast buffet was super good..lots of different variety. The pool was very nice..and very warm my kids enjoyed it very much. The only downside is my key card denied me enrty after hours into the building 3 times and we wernt given enough towels..also netflix or something would also be a plus for the wind down times at night.
