Darling Towers lives up to its name; it provides extremely reasonably priced suites or apartments for any guest who will be staying longer than one night. It is not a hotel, which is why they do not let rooms for a single night, but for large families on vacation, you could do far worse.

If you are looking for the classic hotel, Melbourne offers the delightfully classic, Enterprize Hotel. The furnishings are of simple yet extreme luxury and the building itself is beautiful. It is therefore surprising to see how affordable it is per night. It has all the classic activities and facilities of a hotel of good breeding, but includes a few specialty bars and restaurant areas inside. It is a secure area, protecting your car, offering safety deposit services, and a multi-lingual staff for your ease.
The Kingsgate Hotel is a more modern and economic hotel than the Enterprize, though still lovely. It offers far more options and package deals for those on a budget, including: standard rooms, standard family rooms, economy rooms, and economy plus rooms. Its dining and common rooms are where the hotel really stands out. It contains a French restaurant and a relaxed, softly-lit lounge. The dining areas displayed on their web page make it look like a brand-new, stylish, expensive university dining hall--an oddly comforting and thrilling combination.
Flagstaff City Hotel is one of the cheaper hotels and--in comparison to the others--looks it. That is not to say it is sub-par, though. The wood of the furniture is unpainted and the rooms are Spartan, but the outside shots make it look like a charming area of Euro-simplicity.
The Clarion Hotel on Canterbury might end up being your choice for the price. It is only slightly more expensive than the others and is everything a five star hotel should be. It offers standard suites, spa suites, luxury-, presidential-, and king studio-suites, and multi-bedroom apartments. It is a first choice for many weddings and conferences for obvious reasons. If its web page is any indicator of the quality of the hotel, you will be in for a rare treat.
