On the negative side, the lounge is mediocre. It's essentially a closed off area in the bar, so somewhat noisy. The hot food was warm and soggy and the beers were low alcohol. An extra $15 pp for restaurant breakfast - but for that, may as well go to one of the many great Melbourne coffee spots.
No compelling reason to return as many Bonvoy options in Melbourne - unless the price was right.
Hi there, I am headed to Melbourne next week, and I really need an early checkin after my trip from Canada (arriving around 1000-1030, what time were you able to check in)

Also if anyone has any recent early checkin experience here as a data point I would appreciate it.

Thanks
