Parkroyal Melb

I flew in late due to strong winds in Sydney disrupting flights around the country. Got upgraded to 914 a suite overlooking the airport. Automatic blinds in the living and dining room. There were two toilets. One in the bedroom & in the living room. Ample space. I went to the gym but didn't use the pool. The airport is on level 5 onwards in the car park. Just walk across the driveway in front of the airport. Good night sleep with earplugs. Couldn't hear any airplanes taking off or landing. After our meeting next day just walked across the road. Caught the flight home.

Stamford Plaza Melbourne

Had an overnight stay for a work meeting. Got in late. Ordered room service for the $20 for 5 curry puffs, Caesar salad and prawn dumplings. Nice Singaporean touch to room service - $75 for dinner. Large room with a divan by the window. Walk in closet or cupboard. Had the pool and gym to myself at 8 pm just before we ordered dinner. Large screen tv by the spa in the pool. There are 2 towers and I was in the other tower but the towers are interconnected by an over the road bridge. Ambience was 70s or 80s in the rooms and got a good sleep as I was on a high floor. Close to the trams near Parliament. About 1.5 to 2 km from the Sky bus station for the airport bus. If you walk it is about 20 minutes or you can catch the tram then walk. Breakfast was busy in the restaurant. So grab a muffin to go or have your breakfast in the room. If you can't spare the wait for a table.
