Property: Movenpick Melbourne
Status: Explorer+ Platinum
Room booked: Superior
Room upgraded/type: Deluxe
Rate: Corporate rate
Early check in/late out: Neither offered, neither needed
Free internet: Yes
Free breakfast: Yes, continues to go downhill
Welcome drink: Yes in app
Welcome amenity: Strawberries in white choc, no wine again
Recommend: If the price is right
Thanked for my loyalty on check-in, then asked if I'd stayed there before... have done so 30-40 times...
Upgraded to the largest of the Deluxe configs, and nicest aspect with a view of the Bourke/Spencer intersection.
Welcome amenity a bag of chocolates with no wine in sight.
The towels and pillows are still well worn - presumably from the original 2021 opening - and need replacement. I gave them post-stay feedback a while back with no response.
Breakfast has scaled back again with less food out. The only Asian option was congee - previously they've had a veg curry and a few types of dumplings. They have also done away with the single serves of yoghurt/bircher in the fridge (near the Nespresso machine) and now have a few communal bowls for self service at the fruit station, which is now combined with the cold cuts and cheeses. I was still offered a free barista coffee though, am happy they haven't enhanced that...
Sub $200-250 I still think this is a good stay. Wouldn't stay for higher prices though.
