Melbourne Inn is a lovely little gem. The staff were so friendly and kind. Melbourne Inn was extremely clean. Our room was quiet and comfortable. The bistro and poolside was nice to come back from a walk and go for a refreshing swim and have a snack. I would highly recommend this place to stay.

We had a great stay here. The staff are so lovely! They are friendly and helpful and so personable! The hotel is nice enough. Our room was fine but our friends room had some issues. The hotel gave them a credit at the end of the week because of the issues which was good. The location is really terrific also. Close to many restaurants, walking distance to everything and right near Dover Beach. I would definitely come here again.
