Top hotels in Emerald
PARKROYAL Monash Melbourne
No worries with the room. Didn’t need a view anyway. It was Christmas but getting the room service trays cleaned away or clean glasses seemed strangely difficult. Staff were very polite and had no dramas there. Food was edible but I didn’t write home about any of the meals.

Hotel Chadstone Melbourne MGallery Collection
Staff were rude and judgemental! They need some training! Because I’d love to come again and again, but wouldn’t because of the staff. The staff don’t own the hotel, so they need to chill
