Great location for Australian Grand Prix. Very small rooms but good enough. However for the Grand Prix weekend Best Western and probably all hotels in Melbourne completely gouge you on the pricing. Almost criminal, not Australian like.

I only stayed here 2 nights to do a tour from Melbourne. It's a very simple hotel, nothing special. Staff at the reception was very friendly! There's a 7Eleven on the corner which is much more budget friendly than Stubby's Cafe that they have on the premises.
