Top Emerald Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus The Tudor-Box Hill

10/10 Excellent

"This would have to be the largest apartment I've ever stayed in, all the rooms were super spacious- open plan kitchen, dining and living area, massive bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 balconies, a bbq, washer and dryer. Heaps of storage space. Parking was super convenient. Nice pool but not heated so couldn't go in, even in summer, but they had a spa and sauna! All rooms were very clean. Staff were very friendly. "
