My husband and I stayed for 2 nights with the possibility of staying 3. We tried to get the same midweek rate for the Friday night which would've been $40 less but they wouldn't budge. Due to the weather being quite ordinary while down there we decided to see what the weather had installed for us. It was still quite cool after that 2nd night so we opted to put that money towards a trip into Crown Casino, Melbourne. With that said we were upgraded to a pool view room which over looked the grounds which is lovely. The room itself, like others have said is on the smaller side but quite comfortable. The hallways and room were quite stuffy/warm so it was necessary to open the window. Air conditioning was available but personally I don't like the air blowing right down on me while I'm trying to sleep. Cocktails were nice and overall the staff were quite pleasant and accommodating. Parking is limited so we opted to pay $7 per day to park in the basement. The weather was blowing a gale and the rain was torrential at times so it was worth paying the extra $$ to have direct lift access to our floor. We had run to our car previously outside and got quite wet. One more thing...our room wasn't serviced and I would normally expect this from a 4.5 star resort.
