I really enjoyed the Melbourne Marriott - they really focused on comfort and friendliness here. Here are my pros, cons, and photos:

Pros:
  • Upgraded to a Corner Larger Suite around the evening or morning before arrival
  • The suite had comfortable furniture - including the couch and leather desk chairs
  • The bed was absolutely fantastic - really plush mattress, plush pillows, and plush covers
  • Shower pressure was fantastic and strong - it could get really hot but was able to be adjusted
  • A really delicious box of chocolate-covered salted caramel popcorn was waiting for me in the room - love a dessert welcome gift
  • Breakfast is only in the restaurant (no lounge breakfast) - quite tasty
    • Good made-to-order omelets
    • Tasty barista coffees
    • Yummy "potato gems"
    • Waffles were pretty good
  • Sparkling wine served at check-in - seems bougie though I had a few sips
  • Staff was quite friendly as expected in Australia
Neutral:
  • M Club does have evening service, but there weren't any desserts
Cons:
  • Not much
Overall, I would definitely return.
