The Langham, Melbourne
Nice, super quiet room facing river was beautiful. Facilities and location is great, staff very helpful and a nice buffet breakfast. The only let down was the terrible rain shower head that had no water pressure

Meriton Suites Melbourne
Check in was good with Steve (young) welcoming us. Though we have an Express service on Fri and full service on Mon, there was not enough of toiletries and tissues for the two of us. Also the salt and pepper sachets were not replenished during both the services.
