Great Carlton location. Close to tram and bus. Plenty of restaurants on your doorstep. 7 eleven across the road. Very clean rooms. Great value for money.
Great stay at the Carlton lygon, team stop 5 min walking distance, parking overnight cheaper than most car parks, friendly staff, plenty of tea coffee in room always a bonus
