Happy holiday inn
We travelled to Melbourne for a concert at the Rod Laver Arena which was about a 20 min fairly easy walk. The hotel was also within walking distance to tram and train and Southbank. Great location and great breakfast with lots of variety. I would stay again, good value for money, nice room and friendly staff.

Excellent hotel. Location was perfect.
The hotel comes across as quite new and very well done. I could not fault anything a hint. You can book a hotel car parking. Had reception by scanning a QR code headroom for the car park is 2.1 m

Great place to stay
Great place to stay. Centrally located to where we were going, making it easy to walk everywhere. Price is great with an excellent breakfast included. Only down side: Internet is very slow and bathroom doors close with a bang.

From our arrival to checking in ,staff were very friendly,our room was very clean,everything you need for a comfortable stay. Breakfast was more than adequate and again, the staff said good morning ,as they cleaned fresh tables for you to enjoy your breakfast.Car parking was easy and we look forward to booking again.

Slow and poor service.
I've stayed many times at this hotel, and other Holiday Inn hotels in Australian and overseas, but this was easily the worst check-in experience - more than 20 minutes of waiting. Ignored the pre-booked parking as part of the booking and made us book via a QR code on the counter. Then when we returned from dinner it took 20 minutes to get into the room because the lifts were barely operating. No answer of the phone or the call button downstairs.

30 September 2024
We stayed in room 823. The first thing we noticed was the fitted sheet was not fitted and kept pulling up.
When we woke up in the morning, we both had had a reaction to something in the air conditioning, each of us sniffling and with a bit of a sore throat (these symptoms both went soon after we checked out).
The other thing that we were deeply concerned about was the breakfast buffet. We ended up not eating our food, as everything that should have been hot was cold - eggs, bacon, sausages… the tomatoes looked uncooked and had just had a large amount of herbs heaped on them. The fact that all this food was being served cold makes me wonder if any checks for done from a health and safety standpoint, as you could actually get someone sick from this.
We definitely do not feel we got what we paid for and this experience has turned us off Holiday Inn.

Centrally location Hotel close to where are function was. Included breakfast was great
Minor issues were the access to the carpark is only really suitable for smaller cars and the air conditioning was set for winter conditions and I could only turn it down to 21.5° C
