I had a great stay at the hotel. The room was immaculately clean and offered a stunning view of the Yarra river and the casino, allowing us to enjoy the amazing fire show right from our bed. The only downside was the noisy air conditioning unit that made it a bit challenging to sleep. The service was exceptional, especially when we needed to change our dates and had a concern with parking our larger car. The location was perfect for exploring on foot, but the train passing by was a bit disruptive. The dining experience was delightful overall, though breakfast could have been warmer.
