We stayed here during the F1 Aus GP so the prices were extreme during the event but this was the same everywhere. We chose this accommodation for it's close walking proximity to Albert Park & found there were plenty of food & dining options easily accessible. I will argue that the Junior Suite we booked isn't really a suite, more like a terribly layed-out studio apartment. There is no fan or air con in the bedroom space, the bathroom is uncomfortably small. The lighting situation was awful, we couldn't manage to switch off the kitchenette lights at all & the bathroom had an auto sensor so if you needed to use it during the night, the whole place lit up with bright light. The only way around this we found was taking the room key out of the activation sensor at the door which meant no electricity during the night (chargers etc). Frustrating but not the end of the world. Room was suitably clean and the kitchenette was well equipped with a large fridge/freezer, small cook top, small dishwasher and cutlery/crockery. So we bought plenty of groceries to make small meals ourselves. We did have to ask and wait until some fry pans were available as they dont have enough for each room. Overall, we were grateful to find this place during a very busy time for the city and it had all we needed. Solid 3/5 stars
