THE VIEW FROM THE BALCONY! made my Melbourne trip much more enjoyable looking over the city. you really feel like a king up in the penthouse. McDonalds on city rd. was a walking distance away saving me from the hangover mornings. 3 tram stop from southern cross station to crown and a 10 min and your there, very easy to get around. all in all a great place to stay and probably one of the best views of Melbourne.
