All Quest accommodation is franchise owned.
I chose this quest to be closer to a friend and because he kept talking up the suburb.
The only reason why you would stay in Ivanhoe is because you have family and friends who live in suburbs close by, have access to a car, are attending a conference at the venue or want to revue all the food places here.
The hotel itself is neat, very clean with extremely polite and helpful staff.
I stayed in a one bedroom apartment for $230/night flexi rate.
There was debate over parking. Some staff would tell me that I needed to book in advance and was $10/night and I had another staff member tell me it was included in my rate and I didnt need to book at the time as they werent at capacity.
The bed unfortunately is a double bed.
No tv in the bedroom
All appliances including washing machine and dryer are Fisher and Paykel and very easy to use.
You only get 1 dishwasher tablet which isnt enough let alone when there is no housekeeping on Sundays and public holidays.
The shower is in the bathtub.
towels really arent big or soft enough especially for a larger person. I like bath sheets.
Dining table has seating for 4 people which is a good size.
The tea, coffee and sugar were a little difficult to spot
You should have dinner setting and glasses for 4 people. If not ask reception to bring more.
Only 2 bins. one in kitchen under the sink and one in the bathroom.
The bathroom is near the front door not ensuite. Typical of the apartments being built in Melbourne right now.
If you suffer sleep apnoea you will need to ask for a double adapter. the spare plugs are on the wall opposite the bed for some unknown reason.
You will find a small box of tissues under the basin in the bathroom. You will need to ask if you need another as it is the one thing they dont seem to check.
Housekeeping staff are polite quick and efficient. Take advantage if you have paid the price for daily housekeeping. You are on holidays so why should you be the one to take the rubbish out to the shute. lol
The balcony area is a fair size how ever I had a north south facing one which meant I did not have enough sun. Until this trip in Melbourne where I experienced true Melbourne weather for the first time, I hadnt realized how important it was for me.
There is a fantastic chinese restaurant directly across the road and very good woolworths and bws next door.
