A very weird hotel to say the least. It feels like a time capsule from the 80s... but the late 80s when everything started to go downhill. I will firstly say that that the service staff were lovely and helpful and the outside and bar restaurant looks amazing. It really feels like this place is deserving of it's 4-star rating at this point, that is, until you get to the bedrooms. Having stayed at the Amora in Sydney several times, I wasn't expecting to be staying in Motel-style accommodation in the centre of the Melbourne. The rooms are tight, small and poorly laid out. Everything is dusty, dirty, old and broken or on the verge of breaking. There were two powerpoints in the entire room and none next to the bed. The balcony is not even slightly private and you essentially have to have your curtains drawn all day and night if you want privacy. The walls are paper thin, you could hear neighbours arguing. The bathrooms are incredibly dated and mine in particular had an opening window/door situation over the shower/bath set up that didn't close properly which meant that when I had a shower, the bed got wet... which not only sucks having to sleep on a wet bed, but makes me wonder how long it's been like this and how the mattress is holding up with that kind of exposure to moisture. I definitely wouldn't stay again as I feel the experience falls far short of the price point, essentially paying 4-5 star hotel prices in the middle of the city for a regional seaside town style motel.
