Mercure Melbourne Southbank
Comfortable clean room in the ideal location, close to Flinders Street Station, Southbank and the Casino. Not a fan of the Self-Check in as it takes away the personal contact that you require if you are in a new city. Also always seem to be allocated a low level room (This time Level 2).
