Simply the Best in Gippsland

My stay at The Criterion in Sale Vic was fantastic! The staff are always incredibly welcoming and helpful, the rooms are always spotlessly clean and comfortable, and the restaurant always has a great variety of delicious options. The location is perfect for my business and personal needs, and I always appreciate the friendly service from Rex, Chad and the team. Definitely my go to accomodation In Sale when I travel to Gippsland for work.

A nicely renovated hotel, rooms are small but nicely done. Unfortunately the beds are horrendous, honestly the hardest I have ever slept in. I went for dinner downstairs and the staff seemed confused and one young man behind the bar was too busy trying to be cool than actually providing good service. Food was very delicious and plenty of it. A real mixed bag here!
