Reality check
Service can be disjointed and 'chaotic' at breakfast, with some guests feeling the staff training hasn't quite caught up to the hard product's luxury price tag.

- You prioritize a high-end gym and pool experience over historic charm

Чистота и уход

- Housekeeping: Generally good, though some reports of 'erratic' turndown service and missed restocking.
- Bathroom hygiene: Mostly pristine marble, but isolated reports of drainage issues in new rooms (e.g., slow draining tubs).
- Maintenance: Brand new building, so wear and tear is minimal, but watch for 'teething issues' like elevator glitches.
- Linens & towels: Immaculate. Plush, heavy towels and crisp Frette linens.
- Odors & scents: Signature Ritz-Carlton scent in lobby; rooms are fresh and neutral.

5 вещей, которые нужно знать перед поездкой
💡The double-elevator commute (Street -> L80 -> Room) adds 5-10 mins to every trip out.
💡Wind noise can be eerie on stormy nights due to the extreme height.
💡Housekeeping can be hit-or-miss with turndown service timing.
💡The ground floor entrance is discreet and can be hard for Uber drivers to find.
💡You are technically in the 'West Side Place' precinct, which feels a bit corporate and detached from Melbourne's laneway culture.
