No worries with the room. Didn’t need a view anyway. It was Christmas but getting the room service trays cleaned away or clean glasses seemed strangely difficult. Staff were very polite and had no dramas there. Food was edible but I didn’t write home about any of the meals.

Sage Melbourne Ringwood
A very good suburban Melbourne stay. The carpark being inside the shopping centre makes for 10/10 convenience. Easy access direct to the car.
