Melrose Apartments — Hotel in Melbourne

Upon arrival, I received a warm welcome from a lovely receptionist, who I believe was the owner, and whose exceptional professionalism was on par with high-end hotels. After checking in, I was kindly walked to my room which added a personal touch, beyond havinga room key thrown at you. The room itself was well-appointed with a stove, dishwasher, iron, ample storage space, refrigerator, bathroom, and laundry facilities (located on the ground floor), as well as a private balcony.

Count how many you can find. Yup heaps. Now stay elsewhere if you value peace of mind. Oh and truth in advertising. Watching TV is a guaranteed way of getting a bad back. Beds are...
